Resize NVMe sector size on snap-03
The NVMe disks in snap-03 are using 512 sectors instead of 4096 byte sectors. The sector size should likely be changed if boosts performance.
LBA Format 0 : Metadata Size: 0 bytes - Data Size: 512 bytes - Relative Performance: 0x2 Good (in use)
LBA Format 1 : Metadata Size: 8 bytes - Data Size: 512 bytes - Relative Performance: 0x2 Good
LBA Format 2 : Metadata Size: 0 bytes - Data Size: 4096 bytes - Relative Performance: 0x2 Good
LBA Format 3 : Metadata Size: 8 bytes - Data Size: 4096 bytes - Relative Performance: 0x2 Good
LBA Format 4 : Metadata Size: 64 bytes - Data Size: 4096 bytes - Relative Performance: 0x2 Good
Changing the disk sector size formats the disk, the sector size needs to be carefully coordinated with mdadm.
Outline steps:
- Confirm array idle via /proc/mdstats
mdadm --failmdadm --removenvme format --lbaf=2mdadm --add
(repeat disk by disk across all disks)
