Package: partman-partitioning
Version: 91
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

partitions created by debian installer are not aligned to
cylinders (MBR), or 1MiB (GPT). You can check by
partitioning a disk using debian installer and then look at
the partitions with cfdisk - you'll see an unusable space at
the beginning and end of the disk, and asterisks at all
partitins meaning it is not aligned.

This is very inconvenient, if you need to partition a new
drive with the same partitions, as cfdisk will not let you
create unaligned partitions. One has to copy the partition
table with dd or some other *fdisk tool. Similar problems
are with GPT and gdisk.

Even more problems arise if you want to repartition - extend
the partition into unused space and keep the beginning at
the same place.

Please fix partman in debian installer, so that it makes
partitions aligned in the same way as cfdisk/gdisk does.

Best regards
Vladislav Kurz

cfdisk has seen a major rewrite since this bug was filed, and I
believe this should be fixed now, so I am closing this bug.  If you
find it still to exist on 7.0, please reopen the bug and reassign it
to util-linux.
