Yes, the alignment needs to match. But if a partition is aligned on a 1MiB boundary, it is also aligned on a 512k boundary, a 256k boundary, a 128k boundary, a 64k boundary... In general, an X-byte boundary is also a Y-byte boundary for any Y dividing X. So I used a large-ish power of 2 in my scripts so that I never have to look at them again. :-) - Pat _______________________________________________ Ocfs2-users mailing list Ocfs2-users@oss.oracle.com http://oss.oracle.com/mailman/listinfo/ocfs2-users
