Reassigning to parted since this does not have anything to do with e2fsprogs. I have the same drive and it appears that the problem is due to the drive lieing about its sector size. It reports that it uses 512 byte sectors instead of 4kb to the kernel, and parted uses the information that the kernel provides.
It might be possible to have an init script detect the quirky drive and override the detected sector size, but I'm not sure. ** Package changed: e2fsprogs (Ubuntu) => parted (Ubuntu) -- parted fails to report partition alignment https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/548792 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
