I am trying to upgrade my system from 500GB drives to 1TB.
I'm going to guess that there are no IDE drives that have 4096 byte
physical sectors, but it's worth confirming you don't have such a
drive because the current partition scheme you've posted would be
sub-optimal if it does have 4096 byte sectors.
Oops. I just reread that this is now SATA. New versions of hdparm and
smartctl can tell you if the drive is Advanced Format, and if it is,
then I recommend redoing the partition scheme so it's 4K aligned. And
so that it has an MBR gap. The current way to do this is have the 1st
partition start at LBA 2048.
I tried 'smartctl -a' and 'hdparm -I', but I don't see anything about
Advanced Format. What am I looking for?
I can redo the partitions, but I'm not sure how to tell fdisk to start a
partition at LBA 2048.
