Package: parted
Version: 1.7.1-3
Severity: wishlist
I have a disk that fdisk displays as follows:
fdisk /dev/hda
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 4865.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40020664320 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4865 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

/dev/hda2 1786 4098 18571172 f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary.

Partition 3 does not end on cylinder boundary.

Solaris
/dev/hda7 3161 4095 7499488+ b W95 FAT32
I have been unable to figure out how to get parted to move the end of
partition 2 to a cylinder boundary, even though there is free space
before and after the end of partition 2.
Could the parted documentation be updated to include details on how to
ensure that the end of a partition is on a cylinder boundary?
Regards,
Arthur.

This was fixed some time ago. Parted has options to keep partitions
aligned to cylinders or 1 MiB ( the default ).
