Sorry for the late answer

Thanks again for providing all the information; I have finally implemented an
"align-at" option in a patch included in 4.0~beta2+experimental7. It would be
great if you could give that one a try. The use is as follows:
disk_config sda align-at:4K
...
"4K" throws an error but it works with "4k"
INTERNAL ERROR in setup-storage:
convert_unit 4
which should make all non-preserved partitions start at multiples of 4k-blocks
and also have them end at proper points such that no holes appear. Testing and
feedback would be much appreciated.
I installed "dpkg -i --force-all
fai-setup-storage_4.0~beta2+experimental49_all.deb"
in my nfsroot and the partiontable looks now aligned. (I had to use
--force as fai-client_beta had some errors)
before:
# sfdisk -d /dev/sda
# partition table of /dev/sda
unit: sectors
/dev/sda1 : start= 63, size= 610407, Id=83
/dev/sda2 : start= 610470, size= 9655065, Id=83
/dev/sda3 : start= 10265535, size= 192780, Id=82
/dev/sda4 : start= 0, size= 0, Id= 0
after installing fai-setup-storage-experimental
# sfdisk -d /dev/sda
# partition table of /dev/sda
unit: sectors
/dev/sda1 : start= 64, size= 614400, Id=83
/dev/sda2 : start= 614464, size= 9256896, Id=83
/dev/sda3 : start= 9871360, size= 614400, Id=82
/dev/sda4 : start= 0, size= 0, Id= 0
Thanks!
