Partitioning question ("device presents logical sector size that is smaller than...")
I installed Arch Linux + Windows 7 on a new computer with two 60GB SSDs (Kingston V300) and two 1TB HDDs (WD Blue series), one of each per OS. When partitioning the HDD fdisk gave a message "The device presents a logical sector size that is smaller than the physical sector size..." and as far as I understand, wrongly aligned partitions can, in this case, have a significant (negative) effect on performance. Are these partitions correctly aligned or should I fix something? Windows installer didn't give any such warnings.

Another question: What should I take into account if I want to mount the Windows partition located on the SSD on Linux? I guess NTFS-3G doesn't support TRIM but how about access time recording (atime)? |
That message is informational - why would you expect Windoze to keep you informed of what's happening below the covers.
Current versions of the tools align automatically - as can be seen by the start sector on the first partition on the display(s). As for ntfs-3g, the doco suggests noatime is supported, but not trim; see here. |
Hi:
I went and looked at my partitions and did for a reason. I noticed that you have: Quote:
I only have experience with installing on a HDD so I am just sharing what I am seeing and what I (think) is going on. Looking at mine both of the Windows partitions are on the same HDD; but I am not using an additonal drive like you and don't know if the partitions can be seperated and still funtion. Code:
