What's the logical sector size of the drive? If it's 4k, then
blockdev --getss should be returning 4k. If it's not, then either
the drive is reporting that it supports 512 bytes sectors when it
doesn't (i.e. the drive is broken) or blockdev is returning the
wrong information (i.e. blockdev is broken)....

What does mkfs.xfs output on that device?

FWIW, that doesn't make much sense - putting the physical block size
into a variable named "logical_block_size".....

Cheers,

Dave.
