Comment # 4 on bug 898881 from Norbert Jurkeit

That's true, but not the point. When the YaSt Partitioner is started, it calls:

/usr/sbin/parted -s /dev/sda unit cyl print unit s print

When I then create a partition of 100 MiB, it issues:

/usr/sbin/parted -s --align=optimal /dev/sda unit cyl mkpart primary ext2 1569
1582

The desired result would be achieved instead with:

/usr/sbin/parted -s --align=optimal /dev/sda unit MiB mkpart primary ext2 12300
12400

I understand that the YaST partitioner works as designed, but it sticks to a
convention which does not make much sense on newer systems. Please consider
this bug report therefore as an improvement proposal for future versions.
