Do you means that the string would shown as: "superblock does not
support data alignment"?

Or "cannot change alignment: superblock does not support data alignment"?

I prefer to the later format because it can distinguish this special
case from the previous alignment validation procedure, i.e,
"alignment check failed: xxx".
