I have reported it, and Rod (CC:d) has pointed out that this is probably an XFS filesystem driver bug. Given that this _only_ occurs with XFS, that is probably correct. I have not reported upstream though. As a workaround in sgdisk, I mentioned that these two sgdisk options together (which ceph-deploy uses): --largest-new=1 --set-alignment=2048 could create a partition that uses the largest available block of space, within the constraints of aligning the start _and_ end boundaries of that partition. If it did that, it would workaround the filesystem driver bug. That was what I expected would happen, but it looks like `--set-alignment` only aligns the beginning of the partition.
