Who says that RAID is a virtual device? Hardware RAID controllers as well as SAS, iSCSI and Fibre Channel disk arrays all use the Block Limits VPD to communicate their preferred I/O size and alignment to us. As do enterprise disk drives. We deal with broken devices by blacklisting them. I suggest you try to find a way we can reliably identify your UAS devices. If there is a common pattern, we can entertain adding a workaround. -- Martin K.
