Subject: filesystem on mdadm raid from unpartioned block devices
Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2011 15:31:37 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1294871497.16201.9.camel@TRAVLOR> (raw)
A quick question that I haven't been able to find and answer for.
I have been using whole block devices (whole unpartitioned hard drives)
in various raid 1 and 5 setups using mdadm 3.1.4 with pretty mundane
options (default options such as striping and but using metadata 1.2).
Typically I use mkfs.ext4 with no options (default) to install the
filesystem.
Is there an issue with alignment on the newer 4096-byte drives. If so
what would be the proper approach?
I thank you for your time.
Ashley
