Re: [arch-general] [patch] AIF, partition table compatibility with grub2.

With nowadays RAID and SSD stuff you want to align your partitions on stripe or blocksizes anyways. Some newer harddisks come with 4Kbyte sectors and have a mapping to 512byte sectors so old OS'es can work with it. You really want to align such devices, as performance is terrible without it.

Anyone with one of these new disks (such as the ones from WD, rotating platers disks, not ssd)? I'm curious to know if fdisk/cfdisk correctly detect the sector size or if the user needs to override what is detected.
