We actually able to: just using a loop and calling copy_range several times. 
May be just:

copy_range does not respect max_transfer, so we factor that in here. If
it's smaller than the job->cluster_size, we do not use copy_range.

oh, I'm ... sorry, I just didn't quite understand the comment.

You're just making sure copy_range after all of our checks is non-zero,
plain and simple. If max_transfer was *smaller than a job cluster*, we
might end up with a copy_range size that's zero, which is obviously...
not useful.

So, I might phrase "Also, we don't want to..." as:

"copy_range does not respect max_transfer, so we factor that in here. If
it's smaller than the job->cluster_size, we are unable to use copy_range."

Just a suggestion, though, so:

(SHOULD copy_range respect max_transfer? I guess it would be quite
different -- it would only count things it had to fall back and actually
*transfer*, right? I suppose that because it can have that fallback we
need to accommodate it here in backup.c, hence this workaround clamp.)

if it zero it means that source or target requires max_transfer less than 
cluster_size. It seems not valid to call copy_range in this case.
Still it's OK to use normal read/write, as they handle max_transfer internally 
in a loop (copy_range doesn't do it).

I'm clear on the alignment fix, I'm not clear on the comment about 
max_transfer and how it relates to copy_range_size being non-zero.


"small max transfer" -- what happens when it's zero? we're apparently OK 
with a single cluster, but when it's zero, what happens?
