Free space before and after partitioning
In an EFI system, if you install using the default Calamares partition scheme, you get free space before and after the partitions:
I guessed this is for aliment. But if I resize the partitions to fill those gaps:
- Move efi partition to the left.
- Move root partition to the left, then resize to fill the end.
Then I check aliment with parted:
parted /dev/sda
align-check opt n
It says that partitions are aligned nowadays.
