It turned out that my problem was getting it to "align" properly. It
seems that GParted does that pretty well. I guess if I am without a GUI
thingy, I can use parted.
I couldn't get cgdisk to work right tho. Heck, it took me a bit to get
GParted to sort it out and it is supposed to be the easy way. lol
Sometimes new toys cause me grief. ;-)
Since I like cfdisk, are there any tricks to using cgdisk and getting it
to "align" it correctly? The drive is a Seagate ST3000DM001 3Tb drive.
I think this is the key bit:
Logical Sector size: 512 bytes
Physical Sector size: 4096 bytes
Just not sure where cgdisk wants me to put that info.
