Over the years, I have used lots of different partitioning
tools, and one thing I have found is that every one of them
"just knows" the rules that ought to be applied to partitions
to put them on the "right" boundaries, and every one of those
tools has different rules and screams and hollers about the
partitioning generated any of the other tools :-).

Every once in a while, I have tried to search for some
definitive statement of what the rules really are, and
I've never found one.
