In a followup question to my arrays, I have a question about the new WDs with the larger sector size geometry but support 512B sectors. I bought some WD Reds (WD10EFRX) drives. When I let the linux "Disk Utility" (palimpest <- who the heck named that anyway?) do the RAID management with a new drive, it partitions on cyls and not sectors. So it makes a partition and then complains to me it's off by 512bytes which could affect performance. Gee. Thanks. So I can use g/parted -- or fdisk.... but I thought I'd get any suggestions for the preferred tool and any pitfalls to watch out for.
