Hi, I've done a little research on how partition size affects performance in Linux (http://goo.gl/9IHsu). This means that, probably, fdisk should try to favor the creation of partitions with a size which is multiple of 4096. >From what I saw in the code, now fdisk tries to create partitions that ends at cylinder boundary, so I'm not sure if it would be possible to conciliate both strategies. Any thoughts on this issue? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
