Bug#228289: autopartkit: makes partitions that does not end on cylinder boundary.
Package: autopartkit
Version: 0.56
Severity: minor
Skolelinux got a bug report that the partition table created by
autopartkit have problems. More info on
<URL: http://bugs.skolelinux.no/show_bug.cgi?id=522 >.
tjener:~# fdisk -l /dev/hda
Disk /dev/hda: 16 heads, 63 sectors, 77545 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 957 481918+ 83 Linux
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary:
phys=(59, 254, 63) should be (59, 15, 63)
/dev/hda2 957 77536 38596162+ f Win95 Ext'd (LBA)
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary:
phys=(1023, 254, 63) should be (1023, 15, 63)
/dev/hda5 957 15157 7156926 8e Linux LVM
/dev/hda6 15157 77536 31439173+ 8e Linux LVM
The problem with partition not ending on cylinder boundary stops me
from using these disk in software raid.
