Recent versions of fdisk require partitions to begin on a 1MB boundary; |
8 |
this among other things guarantees that there are no alignment issues |
9 |
with 4k-sector drives. |

|

If you really need to use fdisk for this task you can start it in |
12 |
compatibility mode (i.e. "fdisk -c=dos"). |

|

The recommended way of preparing the new drive, though, is to simply use |
15 |
sfdisk to copy the partition table from the existing one: |
16 |
|
17 |
sfdisk -d <old drive> | sfdisk -L <new drive> |
