Bug Description
We recently received Supermicro servers with Avago 3108 chipset, and 2x Seagate 4K SAS drives in a hardware RAID1 configuration.
All other operating systems (including Ubuntu 16.04) report this virtual drive properly.
Ubuntu 18.04 shows it as if it were using 512 byte sectors, instead of the 4K sectors that are actually there.
Instead of having ~1TB drive, it shows as ~8TB and is unable to install no matter what I do.
Going to shell during install and running fdisk shows all of the right information and drive/sector sizes.
I am able to install 16.04 and then upgrade to 18.04, but that is not ideal.
Please let me know what other information I can get, or how I can get it for you.
