Regarding DiskAlign Script written by Tom Hirt

First off, thanks for sharing that script.  I have alterned it to check SSD drive alignment.  SSD performance is sensitive to the physical block-to-partition alignment.  Here is my thread on the OCZ forum regarding SSD alignment.  It currently has drive alignment tools such as the spreadsheet calculator as well as a link to a javascript calculator that was made in a joint effort with a forum admin.

I'm not very good at reading legal papers.  I've researched the GNU/GPL information located on the site listed below, though I can't say I understand it completely.

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html

So my question is this.  I have the edited script, though I would like the original authors permission to distribute it to the SSD community forums that I'm a member of, freely to everyone of course.  Same as the other tools that I've made available.

As I understand it, that's okay under the GNU/GPL licensing, correct?  I can post a copy of it here also, if anyone would like.

Thanks,
Jason

Hi Jason,

Very interesting.  Thank you for asking for permission for the alterations.  Please go right ahead!  I'm all for any tool that helps out the community! 

If you wouldn't mind, I would also like to keep a copy of your spread sheet in our downloads area (just in case something happens to attachment over at oczforum.)  Would you have any issues with that? 

Many Thanks!
Tom

No issues at all! 

I've also mirrored the alignment thread over at techPowerUp forums.
http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=107126

I just put a copy of the edited vbscript on oczforum and techpowerup.  It works for all SSDs with 512kb blocks.  There's a short list in the thread on techpowerup.

Re: Regarding DiskAlign Script written by Tom Hirt

In VMware Fusion I deleted windows\system 32\wvUlmnLd.dll file by accident. (I was asked by by antivirus security)
I reinstalled VMware fusion 3 again but I receive the same message that this file is missing.

Is this file important?
Do I have to start from the beginning and reinstall the OS again?

I have installed a few OS's on VMware Fusion for testing preposes  and am running into the problem of the open systems asking to free up more memory or it will have to shut down. It asks to free up x MB's when I have over 1 1/2 GB available on my Mac's HD capacity

Is there a way to increase the memory?
How can one find out how much each different OS is using and has left?

Where can I find a detailed written Help with a table of contents etc. for VMware Fusion that does not require an internet connection?

Re: Regarding DiskAlign Script written by Tom Hirt

Windows doesn’t offer an easy way to check disk alignment. We have created a script to help you analyze your servers WMI partition data for any Windows platform (physical or virtual). You can find this script in our downloads area labeled Disk Alignment Check Utility. The script will check all your computer’s volumes and report back if they are aligned. Thanks for sharing.
