[Bug 742164] Re: detects bad alignment but doesn't correct it
You requested that the partition start at 0 MB. Parted tries to find the closest valid location within half of a MB, which is at 16 KiB. That is not aligned to a multiple of 1 MiB. You might use a start of 0% instead, which will give a large enough search radius to to snap to the optimal alignment. ** Changed in: parted (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/742164 Title: detects bad alignment but doesn't correct it To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/parted/+bug/742164/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It might be nice if it said so, then. On Fri Dec 20 2013 at 9:06:18 AM, Phillip Susi ps...@ubuntu.com wrote: You requested that the partition start at 0 MB.

Creating a partition aligned to 1MB boundaries also does not produce a warning and might be (?) more likely to be optimally aligned. (parted) mkpart Partition name? []? base File system type?
