You seem to assume that FFS2 would align a 1MB file on an 1MB border within the filesystem. That is not case. That 1MB file will be aligned on a blocksize border (16/32/64 kB, depending on filesystem size). Aligning the partition on n*blocksize has no effect on this. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber na...@mips.inka.de
