Should I do something similar for RedHat Linux? Data Direct recommends this for their S2A array. Would this also be appropriate on the EVA5000?<BR /><BR />Thanks.<BR /><BR />Steve Mon, 05 Dec 2005 18:32:29 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/partition-offset/m-p/3685132#M18663 Steve Jones_18 2005-12-05T18:32:29Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/partition-offset/m-p/3685133#M18664 I haven't seen any specific notes on this and Linux, but the basic principal for adjusting the offset is that it increases performance to have the filesystem sectors aligned with the cache.<BR /><BR />So, in my opinion, this principal should apply to any Operating System and filesystem.<BR /><BR />-Vince Mon, 05 Dec 2005 23:09:37 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/partition-offset/m-p/3685133#M18664 Vincent Fleming 2005-12-05T23:09:37Z
