Hello,
Relatively new to FreeBSD and learning, I'm trying to partition my HDD and
align it to 4k sector.
I do apologize if this has been answered before, I have Googled and read
gpart(8) man page to no joy. Can anyone please advice why gpart add '-a
4096' doesn't yield the same result with '-a 4k'? Many thanks and captures
are below.
Regards,
Ronjns
