I just did portability testing by creating XFS with 16k bs on x86 VM (4k
pagesize), created some files + checksums. I then moved the disk to
Power VM with 64k pagesize and mounted this. I was able to mount and
all the file checksums passed.
Then I did the vice versa, created a filesystem on Power VM with 64k
blocksize and created 10 files with random data of 10MB each. I then
hotplugged this device out from Power and plugged it into x86 VM and
mounted it.
<Logs of the 2nd operation>
