Subject: [gentoo-user] Gparted leaves gaps

1 Hello list,
2
3 I use gparted often, usually from SystemRescueCD, and a common task is to
4 move partitions to allow for one to be enlarged. I should be able to specify
5 all the operations in a list, but whenever I do that gparted inserts 1MB gaps
6 between partitions, so I have to do one at a time. Even the latest bootable
7 gparted CD image does the same.

9 Can anyone tell me what causes this? Has it anything to do with my always
10 specifying partition size as a power of 8? (I'm of the old school, having been
11 sent on my first computer hardware course in 1972.)
