https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=211361 --- Comment #15 from Nathan Whitehorn <nwhitehorn@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to Dag-Erling Smørgrav from comment #14) gpart(8) does know about those things and will align to stripesize -- the logic in the installer is copied from the userland code in geom_part.c. And the installer doesn't know about CHS. The stripe size, in geom, is the canonical mechanism for recommending IO alignment. Why do we want to break that? The only partitioning policy choices the installer makes are those involved in making the system bootable on the given platform (where the bootloader goes, in particular, and which partition schemes are bootable). It tries *very* hard not to do anything else and, in particular, not to second guess defaults. I would like to keep it that way. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
