SSD sector alignment

As noted above by eznix, you should be fine.

However, if you want to be sure, parted can do a check; run:

sudo parted /dev/sda align-check optimal

(replace sda with the appropriate disk indentifier if necessary)

You will be prompted to check individual partitions. You should get a return of “aligned.”

Stagger_Lee:sudo parted /dev/sda align-check optimal
Partition number? 1                                                       
1 aligned
Stagger_Lee:sudo parted /dev/sda align-check optimal
Partition number? 2                                                       
2 aligned

You could specify the partition at the end of the command, if you prefer:

sudo parted /dev/sda align-check optimal 1

Stagger_Lee:sudo parted /dev/sda align-check optimal 1    
1 aligned
Stagger_Lee:sudo parted /dev/sda align-check optimal 2
2 aligned
