If (hypothetically) I had a server 2003 server with one disk, no RAID of any type. Just one single disk. Would that benefit from sector alignment? The question comes up via NFS shares and virtualization. If the VMs are published over NFS, I do not see a need for GOS alignment. It is not block based storage and therefor there is nothing to align to. -M Can someone tell me if sector alignment is even possible on a single disk?

For a long time it was the *only* official documentation I could find on disk partition alignment. Alas, it seems, like my darlin' Clementine, to be lost & gone forever.
