1MiB boundaries are optimal for they also align with 128KiB and 256KiB which could be used in solid disk hardware. Now how to do this using fdisk: My thought of using of 32 heads and 64 sectors per cylinder doesn't work for older fdisk versions (openSUSE11.2). Let's try the other way round: "fdi

A new idea for partitioning a new disk Megebyte aligned. Using a different CHS config to get MiB alignments: Now it is 1 cylinder = 255 heads * 63 sectors * 512 bytes If you change fdisk config to 1 cylinder = 32 head * 64 sectors * 512 bytes this should align a partition for parallel us with Wi
