Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-disk-utility
I installed a new 750GB disk in the expansion bay of my X201, and then used
Maverick's disk-utility to create a GUID Partition Table.
I then made a new 250GB partition at the start of the disk. Next time I opened
disk-utility, I saw a warning: "the partition is misaligned by 3072 bytes.
This may result in very poor performance. Repartitioning is suggested."
I then deleted the partition, created a new one, and found the exact
same problem occurs.
1- If disk-utility is smart enough to know this partition layout will cause
poor performance, it shouldn't create it!
2- Does this actually cause poor performance on modern hardware/kernels?
