and I would like to know that you are not just shifting the problem to a smaller unit and a new/creative HW will force us to go even more complicated.
HW will not do this to us. It's software that has the problem. Namespace creation is unnecessarily constrained to 128MB alignment.
And why is that a problem? A lack of documentation that this is a requirement? Something will not work with a larger alignment? Someting else?
See this email for one user-visible problem: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/x49imxbx22d.fsf@segfault.boston.devel.redhat.co...
