commit 5c5ea85b4deedf5e7491a905bbb4f4a3bc284f2c Author: Alexey Obitotskiy Date: Tue May 9 12:25:43 2017 +0200 imsm: allow drives in a container regardless of sector size IMSM doesn't allow to create arrays including drives with different sector sizes. The initial idea was not to permit to combine drives with different sector size in the same container. The problem is it only worked for array creation. On array assemble there are no calls to metadata handlers to see if drive is suitable for a container (e.g. as a spare) and it leads to wrong configuration. Revert the change and allow adding drives with different sector size to the container.
