fdisk and 4k sectors
If you own disks with 4k sectors you will see a warning with fdisk:
WARNING: DOS-compatible mode is deprecated. It's strongly recommended to
switch off the mode (command 'c') and change display units to
sectors (command 'u').
you can do that with:
fdisk -uc /dev/DEVICE
or just type c then u inside fdisk but that is not sufficent...
Make sure all your partitions start at a sector with a number that is evenly divisible by 2048.
(The end of a partition has not to be divisible by 2048.)
