From: Mike Snitzer WRITE_SAME bios are not yet handled correctly by device-mapper so disable their use on device-mapper devices by setting max_write_same_sectors to zero. As an example, a ciphertext device is incompatible because the data gets changed according to the location at which it written and so the dm crypt target cannot support it.
