Re: amd64 debian wheezy installation: software raid: partition misaligned by 512 bytes

Ok, so any way to fix that now? Without reinstalling everything? Any way to move the partitiions?

Also, I don't remember creating these md partitions. The installer does that by default? I should do that part manually during installation? But I didn't see that option in the installer...

thanks,

Alexandru

/dev/md? devices themselves were aligned properly, but you also created
partitions inside md devices. And those partitions are not aligned properly
anymore. So they are aligned now to 1 MiB+63sectors instead of 1 MiB.
In your case, you should have used those md devices without any additional
partition tables (since you only created one partition on them anyway). Or you
should have aligned those partitons same way the original sdisk partitions were
aligned.
