[CentOS] unsupported sector size 4096 on /dev/sda

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]




Hi list,

I just received a storage array and created a 3TB LUN with a block/sector size on the disks of 4096. When I boot the our centos-4.4 box attached to this array I get the "unsupported sector size 4096" message:


Remounting root filesystem in read-write mode:  [  OK  ]
ERROR: unsupported sector size 4096 on /dev/sda.
No RAID disks
Setting up Logical Volume Management: [  OK  ]
Checking filesystems
Checking all file systems.
[/sbin/fsck.ext3 (1) -- /scratch] fsck.ext3 -a /dev/hdb1
/scratch: clean, 90/14663680 files, 485450/29304560 blocks
[  OK  ]
Mounting local filesystems:  [  OK  ]



Any ideas as to why centos does not like the 4096 sector size on /dev/sda? What are the supported sector/block sizes in centos on disks/LUNs? Eventually I will be creating an LVM and ext3 file system on this. Any one know what the file system size limits on LVM/ext3 are?

Thanks in advance for any help on this.

Rene
