Most drivers? Yes, sure. Most drivers that people use? No.
Every. Single. Dell. Server.
Probably every single HP server as well, I haven't checked.
VirtualBox gets it wrong. Xen gets it wrong. I believe KVM (including
RHEV) and VMWare get it wrong too, but haven't been able to verify.
I guess those aren't important to you?
DES
OK. In which configurations? My Dell servers, for instance, don't do
this. How are they set up? What drivers are being used? Is this
something that affects passthrough disks, RAIDs, disk images?
The point is that *if the reported stripe size is wrong*, more things
than partition alignment in the installer will suffer for it. Fixing the
installer with a bandaid in the run-up to a release is fine, but *we
need to fix the underlying problem*.
