This may also be true of SD cards. util-linux fdisk detects if a mass storage device is flash or not and automatically aligns to 4K as appropriate. But this may be much harder to do with DOS/older computers. So an unconditional switch like /4K would be better here. -- WWW: https://metalpunks.info GPG: C90CAB7122AC1231
