Logical Cylinder Size of the Disks - is it possible to change it?
Dear all,
i think i'm wasting a lot of space due to cylinder size of my disks.
Here the fdisk partition table:
It seems that my logical size cylinder are of:Code:[~]# fdisk /dev/xvda WARNING: DOS-compatible mode is deprecated. It's strongly recommended to switch off the mode (command 'c') and change display units to sectors (command 'u'). Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/xvda: 428.4 GB, 428422987776 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 52086 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00050b5c Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/xvda1 * 1 64 512000 83 Linux Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/xvda2 64 52086 417867771 8e Linux LVM
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Is it right or i'm in wrong?
Thanks,

Ok,
i found some good answer after google a lot.
There is no much about Block Size (or Cluster Size on FAT system).
My system is running with a Block Size of 4Kb which means a lot of space wasted (especially on a web/mail server that handle toons of small files).
I would like to resize my Block Size to 512b.
Is it possible?
Any suggestion?
Thanks,
Max
