The SectorSize should reflect the Sector Format Size of the disk drives, for example: 512, 4096, 8192, 16384.

To obtain the number of sectors where the disks are set, use the cvlabel -1command. If you are using disk devices that do not have the same number of sectors, then several disk types can be specified to handle each common number of sectors.
