Mauricio Faria de Oliveira (mfo) wrote :

The packages for libparted and kpartx don't have the patches for using device-mapper (multipath/LVM) on 4k-sector disks (generally: 'non 512-byte sector disks')

This causes the number of sectors of each device-mapper partition to be 1/8th (512/4096) of that expected.
These 3 errors were identified:
1) Partition sizes on multipath/LVM are 1/8th of the intended size
2) The filesystem on the underlying device is not-accessible (only in the dm mapped device)
3) grub-install fails w/ 'Unknown filesystem'

The 2 patches attached contains upstream patches from parted and multipath-tools, and fix the issues (the installation finishes without errors and the system boots).
