Hi there,
I've discovered that most of the hard drives used in our cluster got misaligned partitions, thus crippling perfs. Is there any way to fix that without having to delete/recreate properly aligned partitions, then format it and refill disks ? I'd be glad not to have to toy with moving several 10s of TB disk by disk :D (most disks are JBOD as we're using a fault tolerant network FS, moosefs not to name it). <insert your favorite search engine> wasn't helpful, unfortunately. Drives are ext4, driven by C6 x86_64.
Thanks, Laurent.
