Public bug reported:
Redhat just fixed a bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2140017
This bug complains that disk orders maybe unpredictable since 5.3.
It also affects SUSE:
https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc/?id=000018449
I checked the latest code of ubuntu. It is identical to the buggy code.
Please check whether it affects ubuntu.
Redhat proposes the following patch:

However, the upstream linux developers have different opinions and have
not accepted this patch. Maybe ubuntu can propose a better solution?
