Description Sibiao Luo 2015-02-26 07:59:31 UTC 
Description of problem:
separate this bug from bug 1134693 for ide fail to specify the physical_block_size.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
host info:
# uname -r && rpm -q qemu-kvm
2.6.32-538.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.454.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.launch a KVM guest with physical_block_size=1024 specified.
e.g:...-drive file=/home/my-data-disk1.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-data-disk1,format=qcow2,cache=none,aio=native -device ide-drive,drive=drive-data-disk1,id=data-disk1,bus=ide.0,unit=0,physical_block_size=1024

2.(qemu) info qtree
...
          type IDE
          dev: ide-drive, id "data-disk1"
            dev-prop: unit = 0
            dev-prop: drive = drive-data-disk1
            dev-prop: logical_block_size = 512
            dev-prop: physical_block_size = 1024
3.check the physical_block_size from guest.
# cat /sys/block/sda/queue/physical_block_size

Actual results:
after step 3, it fail to emulate the physical_block_size correctly.
# cat /sys/block/sda/queue/physical_block_size
512

Expected results:
the physical_block_size should be 1024 in guest.

Are you sure that you reproduced this with the fix for bug 1134693? For me, it
just works now.
