Description of problem: When we first wrote the Journal the default alignment for the storage was 512. Now that disks are bigger the default is 4X bigger. We have a KCS article where we tell users that this is a bug on ext4 and tell users to downgrade to ext3 which is not really true. So, to couple with this better we should support 4096 alignments and cope with it through API without requiring extra configurations.
I would like to propose this as a blocker for 6.4.0
I don't have authority to set this as a blocker.. what's the protocol for such thing?
I've just raised the triaging flags. You need to have your component upgrade ready to go by Feb/18th.
Feb/19th? :)
It isn't clear to me if this changes the subsystem domain management APIs or not. If it does it can't come into 6.4.1, if doesn't it can.
