I recently installed Ubuntu on a SSD with logical/physical sector size of 4096/4096.  Everything works fine; however, just for curiosity I did a check on the efi partition 500MB, formatted as FAT32. I got the following error messages: (See image). This does not happen on a usb drive with 512 byte sectors. Everything looks fine when I check with fsck.fat: fsck.fat 4.1 (2017-01-24) Checking we can access the last sector of the filesystem Boot sector contents: System ID "mkfs.fat" Media byte 0xf8 (hard disk)       4096 bytes per logical sector       4096 bytes per cluster         32 reserved sectors First FAT starts at byte 131072 (sector 32)          2 FATs, 32 bit entries     512000 bytes per FAT (= 125 sectors) Root directory start at cluster 2 (arbitrary size) Data area starts at byte 1155072 (sector 282)     127718 data clusters (523132928 bytes) 63 sectors/track, 255 heads       2048 hidden sectors     128000 sectors total Checking for unused clusters.
