Use libparted's alignment and constraint interface to exactly align partitions to a desired block size. Possible types of alignment are "minimal" and "optimal", with the same meaning as defined by libparted. This helps improving in read/write speed performance in most cases. As a sane default, 1 MiB is used as the default block alignment size and partitions always start at a multiple of this block size. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwan <m.schwan@phytec.de>
Explain that it is possible to specify a unit string in the size property and what the default is. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwan <m.schwan@phytec.de>
Rename the partition index variable, to not confuse it with indexes used in loops. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwan <m.schwan@phytec.de>
Bump version early now, so the development version can be used with the newly introduced partition alignment support. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwan <m.schwan@phytec.de>
Add layout configuration files for testing different alignment settings, with varying partition sizes. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwan <m.schwan@phytec.de>
