i cannot repreduce this issue in my test environment, it seems like this issue only happens with specific device... It's expected behavior. For each logical partition is there a special partition table, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_boot_record, it means that there has to be at least 1 sector gap between logical partitions. .. but because the default grain for non-DOS mode (-cu options) is 1 MiB (2049 sectors) to align partitions for compatibility with 4K disks, RAIDs, ... the gap is 1MiB. It's better to have gaps between logical partitions than misaligned partitions :-) Sorry, not a bug from my point of view. Closing. |
