I found that it is possible to resolve all non-alignment issues by resizing the problem partitions a bit with gparted, using a live-cd. The only partition where gparted fails to do this, is the FAT16 Dell diagnostics partition. Gparted ends with a numerical error on this (Which have not noted down and the problem machine is no longer with me).
Nevertheless, I am convinced this is a bug in the Ubuntu installer system, since I have let the ubuntu installer do the automagic find space and resize partitions himself without any manual interaction. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-disk-utility in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1034609 Title: Palimpsest warns about misalignment of extended partition To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-disk-utility/+bug/1034609/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
