GNU Parted: Solving the dreaded "The resulting partition is not properly aligned for best performance"
#GNU #Parted: Solving the dreaded "The resulting partition is not properly #aligned for best #performance"
On the other day I was cleaning out junk from my shelfs and found a perfectly good WD Caviar Black #harddrive. Obviously in the current SSD-era where your only computer is a laptop and most of your data is stashed into a cloud somewhere, no regular Joe User is using spinning platters.
Hey! I'm not a regular, nor joe. I have a Linux-server running with plenty of capacity in it for my various computing needs. So, the natrural thing to do is to pop out one of the old drives and hook this 1,5 TiB high performing storage monster to replace it. The actual hardware installation on an ATX-case isn't anything worth documenting, but what happens afterwards goes pretty much this sequence: 1) partition the drive, 2) copy all/some of the old data back to it and 3) continue living successfully ever after.
