I've observed the core issue with two USB to SATA adaptors. The partition table would become mangled if I moved the disk from the internal connector to the adaptor, because the disk was 4kiB/512B and the USB adaptors would report wrong values.
That's a terrible one. The issue that I saw on the XFS mail list is more subtle: "xfs_info says sectsz=512", which is a format value, not runtime. mkfs.xfs gets it from the kerrnel (blockdev), but smartctl/hdparm report the real value. However, it doesn't seem to have much real importance. (thread "What is a recommended XFS sector size for hybrid (512e) advanced format hard drives?") -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
