So, to create the first partition I tried: parted /dev/sda mkpart primary 63s 127s to align it in the sector 64 since it's multiple of 8 but it shows: Warning: The resulting partition is not properly aligned for best performance. The sector size logical and physical in my hard disk are both of 512 bytes: cat /sys/block/sda/queue/physical_block_size 512 cat /sys/block/sda/queue/logical_block_size 512 How to create partitions correctly aligned? What I'm doing wrong?
