The following reply was made to PR bin/161720; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Dennis Yusupoff <dyr@smartspb.net> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, wblock@wonkity.com Cc: Subject: Re: bin/161720: bsdinstall(8): partition editor does not put partitions on even 4K boundaries Date: Tue, 25 Oct 2011 13:27:02 +0400 This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 2440 and 3156) --------------enigBFEDB1EA657101A7650BAC7B Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable While I agree with you in need of aligning [first] partition, I'd like to behold, that gpart show size in blocks, not in megabytes, so to align partition to 1 mbyte on 4K-align HDDs you might execute "gpart add -b 2048 -s 64K -t freebsd-boot ada0" ( 2048 blocks * 4096 kbytes =3D 8 Mbyte= , in case of "plain" HDD 2048 blocks * 512 bytes =3D 1 Mbyte, which, I think, is a pretty good). Moreover, I don't see why freebsd-boot partition should be more than 512K, if even 64K are currently just enough for FreeBSD.
