Thanks Joel, marked as important so I can find it for later use. This mornings problem is disk partitioning tools. Trying to setup a disk for a new wheezy install. Do we in fact have a disk partitioner that properly handles a disk with a native 4096 sector size? 2 of my 4 1Tb disks are reporting 512/4096for sector sizes. GParted, even with round to cylinders checked, seems helpless at fixing this. Thanks all. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
