Hi,
I'd like to know how to create aligned partitions on a 160GB disk which uses a 512B sector size.
Almost all recent HDD/SSD have 4KiB internal sector (even when reported as 512B by ATA). Read [1].
(Partition table: msdos)
I've got the theory [1, 2], but I can't make it work.
I'd like to have three partitions: 1. ext3 ~ 100mb /boot 2. linux-swap ~ 1GB swap 3. ext3 (for the rest of the system)
How to adjust the sizes? Recent versions of fdiks, parted, gdisk do it for you. This is boring in some cases.
