Hi, with todays git I got a huge amount of warnings for device mapper: device-mapper: uevent: version 1.0.3 device-mapper: ioctl: 4.15.0-ioctl (2009-04-01) initialised: dm-devel@redhat.com device-mapper: table: 252:0: target device dasdf1 is misaligned: physical_block_size=4096, logical_block_size=4096, alignment_offset=0, start=196608 device-mapper: table: 252:0: target device dasde1 is misaligned: physical_block_size=4096, logical_block_size=4096, alignment_offset=0, start=196608 device-mapper: table: 252:0: target device dasdf1 is misaligned: physical_block_size=4096, logical_block_size=4096, alignment_offset=0, start=196608 device-mapper: table: 252:0: target device dasde1 is misaligned: physical_block_size=4096, logical_block_size=4096, alignment_offset=0, start=196608 device-mapper: table: 252:1: target device dasdf1 is misaligned: physical_block_size=4096, logical_block_size=4096, alignment_offset=0, start=5368905728 device-mapper: table: 252:1: target device dasde1 is misaligned: physical_block_size=4096, logical_block_size=4096, alignment_offset=0, start=5368905728 device-mapper: table: 252:1: target device dasdf1 is misaligned: physical_block_size=4096, logical_block_size=4096, alignment_offset=0, start=5368905728 device-mapper: table: 252:1: target device dasde1 is misaligned: physical_block_size=4096, logical_block_size=4096, alignment_offset=0, start=5368905728 device-mapper: table: 252:2: target device dasdf1 is misaligned: physical_block_size=4096, logical_block_size=4096, alignment_offset=0, start=6979518464 device-mapper: table: 252:2: target device dasde1 is misaligned: physical_block_size=4096, logical_block_size=4096, alignment_offset=0, start=6979518464 device-mapper: table: 252:2: target device dasdf1 is misaligned: physical_block_size=4096, logical_block_size=4096, alignment_offset=0, start=6979518464 device-mapper: table: 252:2: target device dasde1 is misaligned: physical_block_size=4096, logical_block_size=4096, alignment_offset=0, start=6979518464 device-mapper: table: 252:3: target device dasdf1 is misaligned: physical_block_size=4096, logical_block_size=4096, alignment_offset=0, start=7189233664 [...] But the system seems to work fine. The same devices produce no warning with a 2.6.32 vanilla kernel.
