Hi:
I have a SSD.. I was wondering if the new installer contains options to allow for partition alignment? Alignment is critical for SSDs.. needs to be done 3 times..
1st with fdisk. we use cfdisk
2nd for dmcrypt the option: --align-payload (with appropriate value)
3rd for LVM: pvcreate --dataalignment (with appropriate value)
When creating filesystems, you can optionally specify additional options for the appropriate program (mkfs, pvcreate, cryptsetup, etc)
Curious, do these alignment issues do anything bad on non SSD devices?
