Thanks Joel, marked as important so I can find it for later use.
This mornings problem is disk partitioning tools. Trying to setup a disk
for a new wheezy install.
Do we in fact have a disk partitioner that properly handles a disk with a
native 4096 sector size?
2 of my 4 1Tb disks are reporting 512/4096for sector sizes.
GParted, even with round to cylinders checked, seems helpless at fixing
this.
Thanks all.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
