Partition 2 does not start on physical sector boundary
sda2
is the extended partition which holds the logical partition sda5
.
You never read from or write to sda2
, you read from or write to sda5
and sda5
appears perfectly aligned. So there won't be any negative effect for your disc-performance, leave it as it is.

I Installed Ubuntu erasing Windows couple of days ago. Now Ubuntu is using the entire HDD.
When I run fdisk -l result shows something like:
......... Disk /dev/ram15: 64 MiB, 67108864 bytes, 131072 sectors` Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disk /dev/sda: 465.8 GiB, 500107862016 bytes, 976773168 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0xa1767c2b Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sda1 * 2048 960894975 960892928 458.2G 83 Linux /dev/sda2 960897022 976771071 15874050 7.6G 5 Extended /dev/sda5 960897024 976771071 15874048 7.6G 82 Linux swap / Solaris` Partition 2 does not start on physical sector boundary.
Does this Extended partition bad for performance or HDD? And How can I fix it? I read some article but I don't understand what really need to do. If possible please give me some suggestion like on some article I've seen something like that 'Use Gparted to move 512to 4k....' type suggestion. I tried using gparted, I can do anything. There are only two options 'Manage flags and Information'
I use Lenovo ThinkPad.
Thanks for your help.
