Anyone create a Windows 7 golden image with 8KB allocation size?
Seems EMC is the only one recommending this. We use a VNX for storage.
8KB is recommended for some storage. Most people don't bother aligning these days, since there is a lot of auto alignment out there, but if EMC recommends it there should be no problem with an 8K block size. I believe NetApp recommends this for some arrays as well, so I don't think EMC is alone.
There should be plenty of articles out there on partition alignment with vmware and view, I would dig around through those.
