Two queries,
1. Is there any inherent value in creating partition on a NVME SSD of say
1Tb, 2TB or higher ?
I think the biggest advantage is that resizing or migrating the partition is easier.
Though there is a concern for space overprovisioning or underprovisioning.
If you already have analysis (from the past use), how much your partition
really consumes then perhaps the concern can be ignored.
Also, when there are partitions you have the advantage of isolation.
2. Assuming a single partition that spans the entire device, does the
alignment of the partition have any any impact on backup tools ?
For the record, i intend to create a partition that's aligned in Mebibytes
eg.
mkpart primary xfs 1Mib 100%
Please share your experience and observations.
No, In my experience there wouldn't be any impact on backup tools.
And what you plan to do is generally recommended, hence you can go forward with
it.
Warm regards
Ragini
