Hi All,

Trying to fine tunning an installation of FreeBSD 7 (amd64) on an ESXi server.
Anyone here has experience with partition alignment as described here:

http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/resources/608

My conclusion is that in the RAID/VMFS side, my system is aligned, but I'm not sure about FreeBSD/VMFS side. I'm not using SAN/NAS in this system, the disks are local in RAID-5.

How can I check that?
My hardware is: Dell PowerEdge 2950III, PERC6i with 3 disks in RAID-5.
