Title:
old /wrong starting sektor on new harddrives with 4k
Status in “gnome-disk-utility” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When creating a new partition on an empty hard drive, the starting
sektor is 63, not as it should be now 2048.
# fdisk -lu /dev/sdb

On a hard drive formated with the installer of ubuntu 11.04 the
allignment is done wright, the starting sektor is 2048, as it should
be on the new 4k hard drives.
Gparted does use starting sektor 2048 as well on standard settings.
The fix should be: change the starting sektor on a new partition to
2048.
