Even though underlying paths are set with larger value for max_sectors, dm sets 1024(i.e 512KB) for max_sectors as default. max_sectors for dm device can be reset through sysfs but any time map is updated, max_sectors is again set back to default. This patch gets the minimum of max_sectors from physical paths and sets it to dm device.
