Using parted, I'm trying to create a 16Gb partition at the end of a 3Tb drive with 4K physical sectors -
mkpart primary 5826978696s 5860533127s
Starting position 5826978696s is a multiple of 8, so why is parted complaining:
Warning: The resulting partition is not properly aligned for best performance.
Are there other alignment-rules/hints I need to observe?
Okay, afaict, parted works with two kinds of alignment - minimal and optimal. I think I'm adhering to the minimal requirement by having my partition starting on a multiple of 8, but I can't tell what the optimal is. The parted sources indicate that it is dependent on disk topology information, which makes sense - nonetheless, how do I go about finding out what the problem/disk topology/optimal config is? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.6°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
