## Disk

### "Invalid argument" Error in Disk Status After Adding a Block-Type Disk

After adding a block-type disk, the disk status displays error messages:
```
Disk disk-1(/dev/nvme1n1) on node dereksu-ubuntu-pool1-bf77ed93-2d2p9 is not ready:
failed to generate disk config: error: rpc error: code = Internal desc = rpc error: code = Internal
desc = failed to add block device: failed to create AIO bdev: error sending message, id 10441,
method bdev_aio_create, params {disk-1 /host/dev/nvme1n1 4096}: {"code": -22,"message": "Invalid argument"}
```

Next, inspect the log message of the instance-manager pod on the same node. If the log reveals the following:
```
[2023-06-29 08:51:53.762597] bdev_aio.c: 762:create_aio_bdev: *WARNING*: Specified block size 4096 does not match auto-detected block size 512
[2023-06-29 08:51:53.762640] bdev_aio.c: 788:create_aio_bdev: *ERROR*: Disk size 100000000000 is not a multiple of block size 4096
```
These messages indicate that the size of your disk is not a multiple of the block size 4096 and is not supported by Longhorn system.

To resolve this issue, you can follow the steps
1. Remove the newly added block-type disk from the node.
2. Partition the block-type disk using the `fdisk` utility and ensure that the partition size is a multiple of the block size 4096.
3. Add the partitioned disk to the Longhorn node.
