ModEdit; related ticket: #18177: GUI: Create new disk should round to sector size (divisible by 512)
I try to create a new virtual disk in Linux and after selecting the size 127.87 MB it informs me of the following error:
Code: Select all
VD: The given disk size 134077632 is not aligned on a sector boundary (512 bytes) (VERR_VD_INVALID_SIZE)
What is the formula to calculate an aligned size for sectors of 512 bytes?
Do all partitions (including those of physical disks) have to be aligned by calculating the sector size of 512 bytes? Why?
