At least in that scenario, the misaligned regions could be brought online as minimal block size (256MB) while the aligned portions could be brought online in larger (2GB) chunks. Do you think this would this require a lot of churn to enable? Last I dug through hotplug, it seemed to assume block sizes would be uniform. I was hesitant to start ripping through it. ~Gregory
