So, disk access on modern disks will be slower but not catastrophic. What irritates me more in this context is the fact that I have two card disks which are supposed to be identical. They come from the same factory but only one carries a label saying it has 4k sectors. I still would like to have at least two partitioning schemata available without much user interaction. At least one should allow the user to have /, /tmp, /var, /usr and /home in separated partitions. Call it the classic partitioning schema and have another one called modern. Erich
