Then why is fdisk complaining?: root@coyote:/home/amanda/amanda-3.3.6# fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders, total 1953525168 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disk identifier: 0x000657ed Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 2048 1919977471 959987712 83 Linux /dev/sda2 1919979518 1953523711 16772097 5 Extended Partition 2 does not start on physical sector boundary. <------here /dev/sda5 1919979520 1953523711 16772096 82 Linux swap / Solaris But do the math, and it is aligned. fdisk is lying?
