[Parted-maintainers] Bug#622945: gnu-fdisk: cylinder alignment does not match parted

[Rustom Mody]

Package: gnu-fdisk
Version: 1.2.4-3
Severity: normal

If I partition a disk even with parted -a cylinder, fdisk says partitions are
not aligned on cylinder boundaries.

So parted and fdisk dont agree on cylinder boundaries and alignment (and I
guess only one can be right :-) )  Which I dont know.
