Question on hd_geometry & blk_rq_cur_sectors

[Vic]

Hi All,
I have 2 questions on creating a ramdisk driver.

How do I init the hd_geometry for my device ie to say how do I set geo
cylinders, head, sectors and size. As this is ramdisk I dont think it
matters but want to confirm.
geo->cylinders = 1;
geo->heads = 1;
geo->sectors = Device.size/logical_block_size;
geo->start = 0;

Also, with my current settings, if I use DD on my ramdisk I get
"blk_rq_cur_sectors" count to be always 8, which confuses my drive b'se I
want to only handle 512 requests at a time.

Simple command to test the disk sing DD "sudo dd if=/dev/urandom
of=/dev/sbd0 bs=512 count=1"
with bs=512 I was hoping to see only the 512 byte request
