/dev/sda2 is your extended partition, which does not contain any data,
just a linked list of logical partitions. This allows for more than 4
partitions using the MBR (msdos) partition table format. Since the
partition is never accessed directly, it does not need to be aligned.
It is misaligned by 1KB to maximize the usable space on your drive.
/dev/sda1 is the partition containing your root file system and it is
positioned at 1MB, which is properly aligned with your Advanced Format
drive. /dev/sda5 is the partition containing your swap space and it is
also properly aligned.
Per Ubuntu bug guidelines, please do not confirm your own bugs--this
should be done by another individual who can reproduce the bug on
another system.
Thank you for reporting this bug. In this case, as we've discussed, it
looks like everything is working fine. Therefore, I am marking this bug
as "invalid" because it appears that your hard drive was partitioned
properly. Feel free to respond to this bug if new information arises.
