-Change the number of logical sectors per physical sector. Prior to December

-To minimize such problems, GPT fdisk aligns the start of partitions on the

+Change the sector alignment value. Disks with more logical sectors per

+problems if partitions are not aligned properly for their internal data
+structures. On new disks, GPT fdisk attempts to align partitions on
+2048\-sector (1MiB) boundaries by default, which optimizes performance
+for both of these disk types. On pre\-partitioned disks, GPT fdisk
