Hi,
When creating a dedicated storage pool on a FC attached storage with sector
size of 4096B and size of 2TB, the storage pool is created but reported as 1/8
of it's size, the same follows for any volume created in the same storage
pool:
# virsh pool-info guest_images_disk
Name: guest_images_disk
UUID: 30247222-c1fb-8749-b833-a73782198d26
State: running
Persistent: yes
Autostart: yes
Capacity: 256.00 GB
Allocation: 122.07 MB
Available: 255.88 GB

What type of pool have you created. You mention FC, which makes me think
you have a SCSI pool type, but then I would expect 'Available' to always
be zero, so I guess it must be a different pool type. Can you show the
pool XML, and also the XML for one of the volumes within it.

Ok, it is a disk partition based pool. It appears that our parted
code is assuming 512 byte sectors as you thought. I reckon that
this change should fix it
diff --git a/src/storage/parthelper.c b/src/storage/parthelper.c
index acc9171..964aa78 100644

}
part = ped_disk_next_partition(disk, part);
}
but I don't have any way to test this myself
