The only thing I can think of by now is something like WDs "advanced format", that the drive uses 512/4096 sectorsize. If the partition is properly aligned, you should grow your partition to a size which is divisible by 4096. You can check that with "fdisk -c -u" or simply by counting: "cat /dev/your_partition | wc -c". If your admin did a clone copy on such a disk, it's likely that all partitions on it are misaligned. In this case, you'll have to re-partition the whole disk. You should at least check. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
