Comment 6 for bug 561573

Mate, I'm moving some boxes over from hardy to lucid and I get the same error when I try to use cfdisk, as I'm not too comfortable with fdisk and use cfdisk instead.

In case the error means something different than what is reported here, its "FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 1: Partition ends in the final partial cylinder \n Press any key to exit cfdisk"

Can I get a hint as to what flag to start cfdisk so I may ignore the error?

Also, I used the "partman/alignment=cylinder" on my laptop and I can run both fdisk and cfdisk without seeing the error(s). Can someone elaborate as to what the performance disadvantage is Colin speaks of?

Dumb question perhaps, if this isn't actually a problem with the partitioning done in partman, should the bug be passed on to fdisk/cfdisk?
