Hello, I have trouble while in top of the stack : mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/raid0luks2 /dev/mapper/raid0luks2 alignement is offset by 147456 bytes This may result in very poor performance (re-) partitioning is suggested. I have the same pb with mkfs.xfs I am using following scheme: LUKS2 => created with cryptsetup -v luksFormat --type luks2 /dev/md127 --cipher aes-gcm-random --integrity aeae RAID 0 => created with mdadm chunk=32 3 Disks *NVME* => partition with gdisk (fist sector : 2048) I got this information with lsblk -t for each 3 disks, i got the same information. nvmeXn1 -> NvmeXn1p1 ALIGN = 0 -> md127 ALIGN = 0 -> raid0luks2_dif ALIGN = 147456 -> raid0luks2 ALIGN = 147456 1) How can I solve my alignment issue? 2) Is it normal to have low performances while writing with dd. I was using LUKS previously and I got only one dev mapper. Now I got 2. Does it have a big impact on performances? Kind regards.
