Partition does not start on physical sector boundary

今天给一块硬盘分区,用fdisk按照默认步骤执行,遇到这个问题:

[root@bogon ~]# fdisk /dev/sdf
Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel
Building a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0x59c8eb29.
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
After that, of course, the previous content won't be recoverable.

         switch off the mode (command 'c') and change display units to

Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary.

在网上搜了一圈,说是逻辑扇区与物理扇区的大小不一样的原因。可是我这机器的逻辑扇区与物理扇区的大小是一样的啊

Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

好在还是找到了解决办法。办法有两种,一是按u切换到以扇区为单位,二是按c关闭dos兼容模式。前者最简单,如下:

[root@bogon ~]# fdisk /dev/sdf
Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel
Building a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0xc466de3d.
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
After that, of course, the previous content won't be recoverable.

注意到fdisk给出的默认起始扇区是512,按这个值生成的分区是对齐的。我们可以算出物理扇区大小应该是512*512=262144,为毛显示成512呢?

Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 262144 bytes / 262144 bytes

仔细一看,I/O size显示的正好是262144。这么说物理扇区大小显示错了?不解。这个系统是64位Redhat6.4。
