Jan 31, 2010 Get In a Line

Recently I was re-reading the disk partition alignment white paper to check something that I'd seen posted on the Internet. If you haven't read this whitepaper, I'd highly recommend it to all DBAs, especially if you run systems that have performance issues and have an OS prior to Windows 2003. Or even if they were upgraded from an older OS. It's a little tough to get through in places, but it's a concept worth understanding.

The data from this whitepaper has been around for quite a few months, but as I talk with people and mention it at times, I often see surprised looks. It seems that there are many DBAs that don't understand it, or don't think it might apply to them.
