I know sfdisk won't automatically align partitions and didn't expect it to do it, my email was about sfdisk behaving in an unexpected way: - not respecting 1MB as start of partition when I ask for it - creating partitions out of order when using sectors Maybe I chose the wrong subject, I was trying to align partition manually and sfidk won't let me do it.
