How can we have compression and deduplication using VDO, the new Linux

We need to support disks with 4k block size.

oVirt is your best friend when you need to manage your virtualized data
center, but when it was created 10 years ago, support for 4k storage was

bytes, detection of block size on file storage, improving testing in
storage area, adding new 4k APis to sanlock and improving qemu block
size detection.
