Looks like it's 32767; making it an even 32K sectors starts the EIOs again.
To recap for the various lists:
Vendor: Samsung Model: D3 Station Rev: 0202
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 06
It's the 4TB model:
/sys/block/sdc/size:7814037160
/sys/block/sdc/queue/max_hw_sectors_kb:61440
Works OK if I echo 32767 > /sys/block/sdc/queue/max_sectors_kb
Has anyone seen a disk out there that's got a (properly-supported)
"max_hw_sectors_kb" >= 32K? If not, maybe we should clamp that value to
prevent other misreporting(?) disks?
