Okay... a forinstance...
I give windows a sector size of 2048 based on what I have read from
xenstore. Windows isssues a read request for sector 1 (byte offset
2048), and a length of 1 sector.
My read buffer is aligned at 1024 bytes into the page, so in the blkif
request I set nr_segments = 1, sector_number = 4 (1 * (2048 / 512)), and
in the first (and only) segment, first_sect = 2 and last_sect = 6.
Does that sound right?
Thanks
James
