Hello,

I would like to see MAX_PHYS_SEGMENTS as seen hard coded to 64 in virtio_stor.h increased, in order to get better throughput when using an LTO tape drive attached to the host SCSI adapter from within a 64-bit version of Windows Server.  The tape drive supports a MaxBlock of 16,777,215.

Before I attempt to develop a patch I wanted to discuss here on this listserv...

Thank you,

Hello Matthew,

It shouldn't be a problem to increase MAX_PHYS_SEGMENTS,
NumberOfPhysicalBreaks will be updated accordingly.
