Also forgot to mention lol... If you're using logical volumes on a solid state drive the default space allocated for metadata is 192k which breaks the 128k multiple rule. So the metadata size needs to be defined as 256k using (bizarrely) the command "metadatasize=250k".
Finally, although I don't really think this makes much difference, the RAID stripe-width should be set to 32.

Using a different CHS config to get MiB alignments: Now it is 1 cylinder = 255 heads * 63 sectors * 512 bytes If you change fdisk config to 1 cylinder = 32 head * 64 sectors * 512 bytes this should align a partition for parallel us with Win7 ? I don't trust my idea for I don't know if something can go wrong using different CHS values... What is CHS good for, we are using LBA anyway. Is CHS just a software calculation with no hardware implications? -- partitioning using mb boundaries https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/521045 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Manual Team, which is subscribed to Ubuntu Manual. Status in Gnome Partition Editor: New Status in Ubuntu Manual: Invalid Status in “parted” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “partman-auto” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “parted” package in Debian: Unknown Bug description: Binary package hint: partman-auto I would like to give people a try using ubuntu but I fear to setup some trouble for them if they use win7. This isssue is described here: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+question/99298 It is a MS related partitioning bug. To get around there are 3 ways possible: C) Most easily: You typically purchased a notebook where there are 3 primary partitions. Ubuntu Release Notes should mention that in case of dual boot you should only create one primary root partition not any more ! (no swap, no home, no further extended) B) A more sophisticated approach: Since Vista Windows needs a megabyte free space just in front of every first primary partition and a megabyte free space in front of every first logical partition in every extended partition. Partition your disk accordingly or give Windows7 Partitioniong Tool a try to configure your harddisk appropriet for a linux install (more easy?) C) Feature request: make linux partitioning tools feature a windows7 compatible mode. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp -- partitioning using mb boundaries https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/521045 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
