Once I partitioned a disk in 20 or 30 partitions, and tested speed on all of them. The faster region was about 1/3 of the disk. It was slower at the end of the disk than at the start; that I expected, but not that it would be faster at 1/3.
Confirmed via observation here, closer maybe to 25%, but clearly slower at the front than somewhat beyond the front, with the rear very clearly bringing up the rear in performance. It wouldn't surprise me if disk makers were putting LBA 0 somewhere other than the physical start. -----Original Message----- Where LBA 0 is located is probably not that much relevant. However, the distance between LBA-(n) and LBA-(n+1) could be. their relative position (interleaving), the rotational speed, cache-size, and the speed of the OS-driver should be well balanced. Without it, it "kind of works", and high-performance hardware might even work worse than cots-hardware. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
