Public bug reported:
This is my second attempt to log a bug report. Grr.
And why doesn't this form accept Disk Utilty or palimsest as the package name?
Disk Utility starts the first partition on an MBR formatted disk at sector 63.
This is a problem because:
1) There is not enough room for Grub if the OS is installed on RAID and LVM
2) Causes partition misalignment with physical sectors for modern disks
3) Causes partition misalignment with erase blocks on SSDs
4) Windows now defaults to sector 2048 so Disk Utility is behind the times
5) I cannot find any way to change this in Disk utility
6) Disk utility is the dfeault GUI partition editor in Ubuntu
I would expect Disk Utility to start the first partition at logical
sector 1024 or 2048.
