Thread: How and when can i see if parittion is propperly aligned in Kubuntu?


ok, got wd green 750 gb disk making porblems system disk windowsxp , moved linux maschine see if encounter errors using in linux. disk 1 fo new disks need align partition in windowsxp make them work propperly.

run kubuntu 11.10 live, installed gparted , reformat disk 1 partition intend use data. used default settigns read should align partitions fine.

question how can see if partition propperly aligned in kubuntu 10.10? i've checked out dolphin, kinfocenter, none of them report device not workign propperly or missaligned partition.

i don't know whether can answer question, don't know meant "aligned". in past had problems disks being partitioned in partition magic, in windows, , disks being partitioned gparted. difference was, understand, partition boundaries are: @ cylinder boundaries ("aligned"?) or not.

partition magic long history now, have not met problem long long time. sorry don't know how can check partition boundaries, maybe should calculate , check them in partition table.
