3.2 Optimizing the Fujitsu 3.2 TB Flash Accelerator Card
To obtain optimal performance, arrange all partitions to start on a 4 KB boundary.
In the following command example, the first sector of the partition is not aligned on a 4 KB boundary (1 sector = 512 bytes).
partition> print
Current partition table (original):
Total disk sectors available: 6251217517 + 16384 (reserved sectors)
Part Tag Flag First Sector Size Last Sector
0 usr wm 34 2.91TB 6251217550
1 unassigned wm 0 0 0
2 unassigned wm 0 0 0
3 unassigned wm 0 0 0
4 unassigned wm 0 0 0
5 unassigned wm 0 0 0
6 unassigned wm 0 0 0
8 reserved wm 6251217551 8.00MB 6251233934
To align the first sector of the partition on a 4 KB boundary, use the format –e command to change the first sector to an appropriate value.
Note - "256" is the setting at shipment. There is no need to change it.
By setting the first sector value to 256 or a value for aligning on a 128 KB boundary, you can ensure an alignment for a maximum block size of 128 KB.
