I take it as a compliment, building exotic configurations is something 
I'd love to be good at.
But, as far as I understand, this warning is caused by my raid config, 
right?
How is it possible that a raid6 array has a queue/max_segment_size of 
(2^16 - 1) in sysfs while 2 others on the same system have a 
queue/max_segment_size of (2^32 - 1)?
they are all rotational devices on the same SAS controller, just this 
malfunctioning one uses SATA drives while the other 2 are SAS.
Understanding this would help me to avoid this unwanted behavior.

Kind regards,

Janpieter Sollie
