LVM needs dedicated configuration, too.
AFAIK, some RAID can't be aligned at all due to metadata.

Hi,
I plan to use FCoE on archlinux servers but I couldn't find any package
of the utils to get it working. The modules looks compiled in the

Does Arch support FCoE? If so, which utils do you use (I'm aware of the
http://www.open-fcoe.org/ utils only)?
Thanks,

seeing this?
Before trying any sync mount option, try to manually sync disks with the
sync command to check if it fixes you issue.
