For instance, single LUN multi-actuator +hard-disks will have an independent_access_ranges directory if the device +correctly advertizes the sector ranges of its actuators. + +The independent_access_ranges directory contains one directory per access +range, with each range described using the sector (RO) attribute file to +indicate the first sector of the range and the nr_sectors (RO) attribute file +to indicate the total number of sectors in the range starting from the first +sector of the range. For example, a dual-actuator hard-disk will have the +following independent_access_ranges entries.:: + + $ tree /sys/block//queue/independent_access_ranges/ + /sys/block//queue/independent_access_ranges/ + |-- 0 + | |-- nr_sectors + | `-- sector + `-- 1 + |-- nr_sectors + `-- sector + +The sector and nr_sectors attributes use 512B sector unit, regardless of +the actual block size of the device.
