What is an odd-aligned disk?

s/disk/partition/ ?


Example: An odd-aligned disk in the 512-b logical / 1K-physical scenario is where odd LBAs indicate the start of a 1K physical sector. An even-aligned disk is where even LBAs indicate the start of a 1K physical sector.

In order to avoid too many RMW cycles, partition software SHOULD (using IETF language) be aware of the underlying physical sector size alignment, in order to align paritions for optimal performance.
