Hi folks,

looking at #41577 I wonder if it would be possible to introduce a
unit "aligned blocks" to create partitions with a proper alignement
(using alignment_offset and optimal_io_size)?

# parted /dev/sda -a optimal
:
(parted) u s p
Model: somedisk
Disk /dev/sda: 500118192s
Offset: 1536s
Block size: 2048s
:
:
(parted) mkpart root 0a 16383a
(parted) p
:
Number  Start     End           Size          File system  Name       Flags
 1      1536s     132607s       131072s                    root


Just a suggestion, of course.


Regards
Harri
