wheezy partition question
Hello List,
I am testing Wheezy on a separate partition of my hard disk.
The partitions I told the installer to use are,
/dev/sda5 as root / mount point, and
/dev/sda6 as swap
Now to the question, why the partition starts at offset #2 while I would
expect #63?
PLEASE NOTE 61 sectors shown as free
61 (+2=63 I thought should be the offset)
cfdisk reports:
==============

6 Logical 7871850 8867879 63 996030 Linux swap / So

I would expect:
==============

1 Primary 0 64259 63 64260 Linux (83)

2 Primary 64260 39857264 0 39793005 Extended (05)

None
6 Logical 7871850 8867879 63 996030 Linux swap / So
(82) None
Is this really a problem, could I correct it at all?
Many thanks.
