I have a large raid (lsi megaraid sas2 9261-8i card) and when I use
parted to initialize it as the one big partition I want, it gives me a
warning.
# parted /dev/sda "mklabel gpt"
Warning: The existing disk label on /dev/sda will be destroyed and
all data on this
disk will be lost. Do you want to continue?
Yes/No? yes
# parted -a optimal /dev/sda "mkpart primary 128s -1s"
Warning: You requested a partition from 65.5kB to 81.0TB.
The closest location we can manage is 65.5kB to 81.0TB.
Is this still acceptable to you?
Yes/No? yes
Warning: The resulting partition is not properly aligned for best
performance.
Ignore/Cancel? i
Information: You may need to update /etc/fstab.
The sector size is 512b actual, the raid stripe size is 64kB, hence
starting the partition on sector 128. I've tried various combinations
of -a, nothing seems to help here.
