Then why is fdisk complaining?:
root@coyote:/home/amanda/amanda-3.3.6# fdisk -l /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders, total 1953525168 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes

/dev/sda2 1919979518 1953523711 16772097 5 Extended
Partition 2 does not start on physical sector boundary. <------here
/dev/sda5 1919979520 1953523711 16772096 82 Linux swap /

But do the math, and it is aligned. fdisk is lying? IDK.
Thanks Bob.
