[Thincrust-devel] partition alignment

[Marek Goldmann]

Hi Kartik,

There was a feature request added for BoxGrinder (which is based on appliance-creator). So I'm interested in this topic too.

	https://issues.jboss.org/browse/BGBUILD-157

A really nice document is attached which describes the issue (and solution).
