[rhelv6-beta-list] Can RHEL6 installer align the disk partition with 4k-sector or raid stripe size?

[Kirby Zhou]

Are you sure?
I think RHEL6 installer does not align partitions.

~]# parted /dev/sda unit kib print
Model: IBM ServeRAID M5014 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 291991552kiB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos

Number  Start      End           Size          Type     File system  Flags
 1      31.5kiB    200812kiB     200781kiB     primary  ext4         boot
 2      200813kiB  291989407kiB  291788595kiB  primary               lvm

at least Fedora 13 installer aligns partitions to 2 MB starting offset
(iirc),
even when the drive has 512 bytes per sector. I assume RHEL6 installer does
the same.

No mis-alignment there, like RHEL5 installer has (the famous offset 63
issue).
