Thanks for your code snappet, it works as you said.

Okay, it looks our sheep can handle it. It is fine to me to use block_size_shift
though it pose some constraint to the size range. But considering sheepdog
already have the block_size_shift in the inode, it is okay to make use of it for
QEMU.

But for user option, I stick with the 'object_size' and translate it into
block_size_shift internally in the driver.

Thanks
