https://community.solidigm.com/t5/archive/parition-alignment-of-x25-m-g2-under-linux/m-p/5643#M5505 <P>How should one partition an X25-M G2 under Linux? I have read two different suggestions, both of which suggest using fdisk with a custom head and sector count, but they differ on the actual values. Both agree that partitions need to be aligned based on the SSD's erase block size. I believe that the X25-M for example uses an EBS of 512 KiB.</P><P></P><P>1) fdisk -H 224 -S 56 /dev/sdX</P><P>2) fdisk -H 32 -S 32 /dev/sdX</P><P></P><P>References: <A href="http://ldn.linuxfoundation.org/blog-entry/aligning-filesystems-ssd%E2%80%99s-erase-block-size" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://ldn.linuxfoundation.org/blog-entry/aligning-filesystems-ssd%E2%80%99s-erase-block-size</A> 1 and <A href="http://www.nuclex.org/blog/personal/80-aligning-an-ssd-on-linux" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.nuclex.org/blog/personal/80-aligning-an-ssd-on-linux</A> 2</P><P></P><P>Advice is appreciated.</P> Mon, 28 Jun 2010 22:14:36 GMT idata 2010-06-28T22:14:36Z https://community.solidigm.com/t5/archive/parition-alignment-of-x25-m-g2-under-linux/m-p/5643#M5505 <P>How should one partition an X25-M G2 under Linux?
