F20 Alpha RC2 Partitions

[Jon Masters]

Hi Dennis (in the main),

The partition alignment in the Alpha seems to be off slightly, e.g.:

/dev/mmcblk0p1            1953     1001953      500000+  83  Linux

/dev/mmcblk0p2         1001954     1251953      125000   83  Linux

/dev/mmcblk0p3         1251954     3986328     1367187+  83  Linux

I believe this has actually been the case for some time, but since I've
been staring at it a bunch I wonder if you've thoughts about adjusting
the images so that the first partition is aligned?

Jon.

Also note the SWAP partition is type 83 instead of  82
Zero impact, it works just fine as is.
(this can be easily adjusted in post processing)

Regarding the alignment:
We somehow lost 95 bytes assuming 2048 is the goal.
(I've heard 4 MiB is optimal)

Perhaps this is just a math problem in appliance-creator?
