parted handles alignment as well or better than fdisk, which that blog
suggested using.
anyways, I have it formatted and mounted and aligned now.
this SSD raid is telling the OS it has 8K physical sectors,(512 byte
logical). mkfs ext4 or xfs will create a file system with 8K logical
blocks, but the kernel won't let me mount it because its larger than the
systems 4K page size..., so I have to force mkfs to build a 4K block
file system.
my database (postgres) uses 8K blocks. the storage has 8k physical
blocks. it seems to me that having the file system block match the
database and physical blocks would be a Very Good Thing...
... so, whats the status of large page support in linux and specifically
centos 6 ?
