The saving grace is that modern util-linux/dm tooling aligns on 1MB by
default instead of sector 63.
So, given the correct options ( -c -b 4096 ), v2.17.2 will handle
the 2TB WD Caviar Green WD20EARS drives which I just bought for my
external backup device... Right?
(Along with a current lvm and kernel.)
