Howdy, I got my 10TB drive in today. I want to maximize the amount of data I can put on this thing and it remain stable. I know about -m 0 when making the file system but was wondering if there is any other tips or tricks to make the most of the drive space. This is the output of cgdisk.
Part. # Size Partition Type Partition Name ---------------------------------------------------------------- 1007.0 KiB free space 1 9.1 TiB Linux filesystem 10Tb 1007.5 KiB free space I'm not sure why there seems to be two alignment spots. Is that normal? Already, there is almost 1TB lost somewhere. Any way to increase that and still be safe? Right now, I've ran the short test and it is chewing on the long test. It will be done around 7AM tomorrow, 19 or 20 hours to complete. As it is, there's no data on it or even a file system either. Now is the time to tweak things. Any tips or ideas would be appreciated. Dale :-) :-)
