wheezy partition question
Hello List, I am testing Wheezy on a separate partition of my hard disk. The partitions I told the installer to use are, /dev/sda5 as root / mount point, and /dev/sda6 as swap Now to the question, why the partition starts at offset #2 while I would expect #63? PLEASE NOTE 61 sectors shown as free 61 (+2=63 I thought should be the offset) cfdisk reports: == First Last # Type Sector Sector OffsetLength Filesystem Type (ID) Flag 1 Primary 0 64259 63 64260 Linux (83) Boot Pri/Log 64260 64320* 0 61*Free Space None 2 Primary 64321* 39857264 039792944*Extended (05) None 5 Logical 64321*7871849 2#7807529*Linux (83) None 6 Logical 7871850 8867879 63 996030 Linux swap / So (82) None I would expect: == First Last # Type Sector Sector OffsetLength Filesystem Type (ID) Flag 1 Primary 0 64259 63 64260 Linux (83) Boot 2 Primary 6426039857264 039793005 Extended (05) None 5 Logical 64260 7871849 63 7807590 Linux (83) None 6 Logical 7871850 8867879 63 996030 Linux swap / So (82) None Is this really a problem, could I correct it at all?

Mine has an offset of 0 (though it's a primary partition for /), but not sure if this right, wrong, bad or good... if Debian partitioner made it in that way, it should be fine.

Re: wheezy partition question
Not sure, Logical partitions may start at offset 63, what is peculiar that the partitioner, created offset 2 and a free space of 61 sectors, which really is not free, 61+2 equals 63 that would be the right offset On the same partition on my system used to be Lenny, and that was with offset 63 and no free space. My disk is repartitioned with no free space for many years. It just the partiotioner that created free space of 61, that should really belong to the offset. -- Tomas Kral thomas.k...@email.cz On Mon, 2012-03-26 at 19:10 +0200, Camaleón wrote: On Mon, 26 Mar 2012 14:53:15 +0200, Tomas Kral wrote: I am testing Wheezy on a separate partition of my hard disk.
