Hello,

I am translating in french the parted V2.2.5 man page , as I did it for 
the previous versions.

I have a question about the english version : a new option has beeen 
added to define the alignement type. It is written, for the type "minimal" :

Use minimum alignment as given by the disk topology information. This 
and the opt value will use layout information provided by the disk to 
align the logical partition table addresses to actual physical blocks on 
the disks. The min value is the minimum aligment needed to align the 
partition properly to physical blocks, which avoids performance degradation.

It is not clear for me what and where is exactly this "opt value" and 
how it "will use layout information provided by the disk" ?

I will be able to finish the translation only when I will understand 
what that means.

Thank you for your answer.

Regards,
Jean-Luc Duflot
