And, FWIW, making the warning go away if probably a bad idea,
because XFS only supports devices with sector sizes up
to 32k:

#define XFS_MIN_SECTORSIZE_LOG  9       /* i.e. 512 bytes */
#define XFS_MAX_SECTORSIZE_LOG  15      /* i.e. 32768 bytes */

And so it should be warning about devices trying to tell it to use
something larger....

Cheers,

Dave.
