Package: live-build
Version: 3.0~a24-1ubuntu17
Severity: normal


In binary_hdd the partition is created with size '0.0 100%'. On a
msdos partition table this will make the installation of bootloaders
problematic, and on GPT partitions lots of fun. Parted can be a bit dumb
depending on the version.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS_Boot_partition
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table

Other partition2disk systems leave at least 64 sectors at the beginning
of the disk for msdos partitions. guestfs leaves 64 512 byte sectors
front and back as GPT backs up at the end of the disk.

The 'mkpart' size spec I use is '64s -65s' which aligns with 4K page
sizes as well and seems to give maximum compatibility over time without
wasting too much space on smaller image sizes.

Newer versions of parted will align properly if you use '0% 100%' -
which leaves 2048 sectors at the front of the disk and 2015 sectors at
the back with a gpt table.
