[GNU Parted] HDDにGPTパーティションを作成、フォーマット

3TBのHDDを1パーティションで利用するにはfdiskでは作成できないgptパーティションが必要。これはpartedで作成。ext3ファイルシステムを作成するまでの記録。

パーティション情報の削除とちょっとしたベンチマーク。

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdz bs=512 count=1
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
512 bytes (512 B) copied, 0.00312751 s, 164 kB/s
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdz bs=100M count=10
10+0 records in
10+0 records out
1048576000 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 81.2974 s, 12.9 MB/s

partedでgptパーティションを作成し、作成したパーティションを確認

このHDDは物理セクタのサイズが4096バイトで、論理セクタのサイズが512バイト。4096バイトの物理セクタをソフトウェアによって512バイトの論理セクタに変換して読み書きが行われている。このようなAFT(512e)対応ディスクのパフォーマンスを発揮させるには、パーティションの開始位置を4096バイト(8論理セクタ、1物理セクタ)の倍数にしておく。2048 論理セクタにしてあるのは、windowsのパーティションツールにあわせて。

旧来のfdiskでも確認は可能。gptパーティションの作成はできない。

# fdisk -l /dev/sdz

WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sdz'!

mkfsでext3ファイルシステムを作成。timeで時間測定すると、3TBでも17分程度。

mkfsコマンドに-cオプションを2回渡すと破壊的読み書きテストを行うことができる。破壊的読み書きテストを行うと飛躍的に時間が延びる。約4.5日間程度。

ブロックサイズなどを見るには以下 tune2fs も dumpe2fs も使えるけど、dumpe2fs の方が情報が多い。ブロックサイズは物理セクタサイズと同じバイト数にするといいんじゃないかな? (パフォーマンス的な意味で)

# tune2fs -l /dev/sdz1
# dumpe2fs -h /dev/sdz1
# diff <(dumpe2fs -h /dev/sdz1) <(tune2fs -l /dev/sdz1)

hddの状態によって、ファイルシステムの作成時間の比較に影響を与えると思われるので、最後にhdparmで状況確認。
