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: ============== First Last # Type Sector Sector Offset Length Filesystem Type (ID) Flag 1 Primary 0 64259 63 64260 Linux (83) Boot Pri/Log 64260 64320* 0 61*Free Space None 2 Primary 64321* 39857264 0 39792944*Extended (05) None 5 Logical 64321* 7871849 2# 7807529*Linux (83) None 6 Logical 7871850 8867879 63 996030 Linux swap / So (82) None I would expect: ============== First Last # Type Sector Sector Offset Length Filesystem Type (ID) Flag 1 Primary 0 64259 63 64260 Linux (83) Boot 2 Primary 64260 39857264 0 39793005 Extended (05) None 5 Logical 64260 7871849 63 7807590 Linux (83) None 6 Logical 7871850 8867879 63 996030 Linux swap / So (82) None Is this really a problem, could I correct it at all?
