[Bug 561573] Re: Partition not end on cylinder boundary Lucid
Its not about fdisk only! Got same problem with the actual Ubuntu 10.04-3 server installer. Installed system with mdraid+lvm+drbd. And when trying to rescue the system from rescue shell -- no good! Ended up with repartitioning in rescue mode and reinstalling the whole system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/561573 Title: Partition not end on cylinder boundary Lucid To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-base/+bug/561573/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 561573] Re: Partition not end on cylinder boundary Lucid
Mate, I'm moving some boxes over from hardy to lucid and I get the same error when I try to use cfdisk, as I'm not too comfortable with fdisk and use cfdisk instead. In case the error means something different than what is reported here, its FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 1: Partition ends in the final partial cylinder \n Press any key to exit cfdisk Can I get a hint as to what flag to start cfdisk so I may ignore the error? Also, I used the partman/alignment=cylinder on my laptop and I can run both fdisk and cfdisk without seeing the error(s). Can someone elaborate as to what the performance disadvantage is Colin speaks of? Dumb question perhaps, if this isn't actually a problem with the partitioning done in partman, should the bug be passed on to fdisk/cfdisk? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/561573 Title: Partition not end on cylinder boundary Lucid -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Please do fix this, as this affects Lucid (10.04) systems being preseeded using LVM+RAID as noted on: Bug #591909 -- Partition not end on cylinder boundary Lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/561573 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 561573] Re: Partition not end on cylinder boundary Lucid
I don't consider this a bug and will not fix it. Aligning to cylinder boundaries is a performance disadvantage on modern hardware, and systems that still need it are very rare. You can use 'fdisk -c' to switch off DOS-compatible mode and avoid the warning. If you need to use cylinder alignment, you can boot the installer with the partman/alignment=cylinder option. However, I do not recommend this simply to avoid a warning from fdisk; you should only do it if there's a real problem. ** Package changed: base-files (Ubuntu) = partman-base (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: partman-base (Ubuntu) Status: New = Won't Fix -- Partition not end on cylinder boundary Lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/561573 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Please move to the right package, I think debian-installer should be the right one.
