  Problem Description:
  ====================
  Intall Ubuntu16.04.01 OS on big DASD drive 8 Terabyptes Libra HE10 consistently failed.

  - I have a Libra HE10 8TB drive in slot UESLL.001.G66S02C-P1-D12 of in
  Slider LFF draw.

  - From Ubuntu-KVM host, I tried to install Ubuntu16.04.01 OS on Libra
  HE10 8TB drive for a KVM guest. The OS installation went successfully.

  - However, when reboot right after finish OS installing, it hit "SCSI-
  DISK: Access beyond end of device" and dropped into grub rescue>

  - I have tried install with different Libra HE10 8TB drives and the
  problem is the same. I then tried OS install on smaller disk with 4TB
  AriesKB drive and it works fine.

  Please see more details below:
  ==============================

  - Libra HE10 8TB drive is in UESLL.001.G66S02C-P1-D12 of Slider LFF draw

  The install completes without error, but grub does not seem to be happy with the resulting partitioning.

  One odd observation is that the resulting installed OS is treating the
  drive as if it had 512 byte sectors, but the underlying disk is using
  4K sectors:
