Hi,

dispart or windows disk management?

thanks

Disk alignment could be the issue.

Sure, but that's just a feature of Diskpart, and, as I understand it, not
related to formatting.

If you're running Windows 2008 on the Hosts then don't worry about it, if
you're not, check your Server Configuration Documentation.

If that doesn't exist and you aren't seeing any performance issues of any
kind, don't worry about it, and just Diskpart in the future.

It's probably neither. Chances are you've created a LUN, told it what
you're putting on the LUN and the partitioning and necessary has been
done.
Why do you ask?
