Hi. Is there any explanation to this GNU parted output?
GNU Parted 3.2 Using /dev/sde Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands. (parted) unit B (parted) p Model: Seagate M3 Portable (scsi) Disk /dev/sde: 4000787029504B Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B Partition Table: gpt Disk Flags: Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 1048576B 4000786153471B 4000785104896B ext4 (parted) align-check alignment type(min/opt) [optimal]/minimal? Partition number? 1 1 not aligned Why does it say it's not aligned? Both the the start and the end are 1MB-aligned (and therefore trivially 4096B-aligned and 512B-aligned), am I right? In [1]: 1048576/4096 Out[1]: 256.0 In [2]: 4000785104896/4096 Out[2]: 976754176.0 For the record, at least it says it complies with "minimal" alignment: (parted) align-check alignment type(min/opt) [optimal]/minimal? minimal Partition number? 1 1 aligned Regards, Alicia.
