Why is 1st partition's last cylinder sharing the same number with the 2nd partition's first cylinder when the gui showed the 2nd partition starting on the next cylinder?
May be because they round numbers slightly differently.
When I select the "Cylinder" option under settings I get the following. However, fdisk shows that that the physical partitions are overlapping.
Does it really matter? Cylinder is legacy. Modern disks do not have them any more since a long time. This is just legacy that need to be carried forward due to MBR format. And they start to make even less sense when using 4K sectors disks (in your case "cylinder" size is not even multiple of physical sector size). Does it case real problem somewhere? -andrey
