Re: Change sector size on existing partition

Hi,

Thanks for your kind, but I don't know how to reproduce the errors, it
happens randomly. I try to reproduce on VM but nothing helps, I can't
create raid array on VM. :)

But, I'm quite sure there is miscalculation or something else that make
4k sector size on RAID-10 array.

And anyway, I found something interesting, it happens on my old
development server too, but I didn't use the application like on new
box. So it's no problem.

$ xfs_info /database/mysql

It's software raid-1 array. Here is the partition table.

It's came from CentOS 6.4, xfsprogs default stock 6.4, as you mentioned
before.
