Yes, that was the definitive answer, with GParted's default no longer being 'Round to cylinders' when 'Create new Partition' is selected in a Live session, the default now being 'Align to: MiB', for reasons given in the latest GParted Manual, and as explained by the attached JPEG image extract.
So, if creating persistent LinuxMint-10 on a USB stick using LiLi 2.6 (Final), first prepare it with a LinuxMint-10 Live disc session, using its GParted to Create Partitions with 'Align to: Cylinder' selected. (I shall let other Forum members know about this, as well as Patrick Verner, to avoid similar problems with his recent versions of PartedMagic.) So, thanks again to Curtis Gedak. ** Attachment added: "Extract from latest GParted Manual" https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxmint/+bug/664275/+attachment/1709418/+files/Specifying%20Partition%20Alignment.jpg -- Mint-10 RC Gparted Problems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/664275 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
