Notes of making two 2TB WD Cavair Green (WD20EARS) drives into a RAID 1, LVM, XFS set.

These disks lie. They say they are 512 byte sectors but they are actually 4K sectors. So, even though we are going to partition the disk by 512 byte sectors we have to make the partition on boundaries of 8 of those sectors.

Partition

Use fdisk -u to make the parition by sectors. Start at sector 64 (devisable by 8)
