Would resizing the beginning of the partition to the correct "sector" be the right thing to do or do I have to recreate the whole partition (and/or table)?
Right, english is better:
Code:
~ % sudo LC_ALL=C fdisk -u -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 240.1 GB, 240057409536 bytes 64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 228936 cylinders, total 468862128 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x1d172924 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 2048 419432447 209715200 83 Linux % sudo LC_ALL=C parted --list Model: ATA SanDisk SDSSDX24 (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 240GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Disk Flags: Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 1049kB 215GB 215GB primary ext4 boot
Hopefully 1049kB (not 2049) is actually 512 kbyte * 2.
But it doesn't matter that much since I don't have too much bandwidth on this notebook anyway (will get replaced in the not so far future):
Code:
% sudo LC_ALL=C hdparm -t /dev/sda /dev/sda: Timing buffered disk reads: 776 MB in 3.00 seconds = 258.59 MB/sec
