Hi folks, parted 3.2-17 (Debian Unstable) doesn't tell which partition is misaligned. Sample session:
# parted /dev/sda GNU Parted 3.2 Using /dev/sda Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands. (parted) u s p Model: AVAGO MR9361-8i (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 23438819328s Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B Partition Table: gpt Disk Flags: Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 63s 2047s 1985s bios_grub bios_grub 2 2048s 524287s 522240s fat16 efi_boot 3 524288s 67108863s 66584576s ext4 root 4 67108864s 603979775s 536870912s linux-swap(v1) swap 5 603979776s 671088639s 67108864s ext4 none 6 671088640s 23438817279s 22767728640s ext4 export (parted) rm 6 (parted) mkpart export 671088640s -2049s Warning: The resulting partition is not properly aligned for best performance. Ignore/Cancel? i (parted) q Information: You may need to update /etc/fstab. Partition 6 is perfectly aligned (320 MiB), so the warning is very misleading. How about a message like Warning: Partition 1 is not properly aligned for best performance. Regards Harri
