------- Comment From [email protected] 2016-02-11 10:14 EDT------- partman uses obviously and erroneously a method with 512 byte block size (like on SCSI disks) to create an xfs filesystem. This method needs to be adjusted for ECKD DASDs, since they have usually a block size of 4096 bytes. (In very rare cases, DASDs can be dasdformatted with 2048 or 1024 or 512 bytes blocksize, but it doesn't make sense and wastes space.) I didn't have a look into the partman code, but it looks like the libparted underneath uses a default blocksize for xfs of 512 where it should use 4096 (for ECKD DASDs, not for SCSI LUNs!). But that's just an assumption.
