Re: Using DMA in read/write, setting block size for I/O -> max_sectors

no it's a property of the hardware and as such the DRIVER has to set it.
Not all hw can deal with really big sizes, so the driver is supposed to
set what the hw is capable of.

so I need to send some ioctl to the driver to set the transfer size or find something in the /proc/scsi area, isn't it?
