https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/cryptsetup/-/commit/7019f42ff18d783f03f2a2184f101c98e484251e I think the relevant part is: """ * Do not allow formatting LUKS2 with Opal SED (hardware encryption) if the reported logical sector size for the block device and Opal encryption logical block differs. Such a configuration can lead to a partially encrypted Opal locking range or data destruction following the expected locking range. """ ... and AFAIK we have no opal support wired up yet.
