[Bug 530071] Re: Lucid Default live-cd install fails with 4K sector / Advanced Format drives

[Steve Perkins]

Hi,

I think it would be useful to consider defaulting to 1MB boundaries in
any case if drive appears to be "traditional" 512/512. I have seen the
case where external USB adapters do not pass on the drive's alignment /
offset data due to the cut-down SCSI command set used by USB to SATA
adapters. Identify Drive works as a SATA pass through command but the
kernel works at the SCSI layer and does not get the data required to set
up sysfs alignment parameters.

Regards

Steve
