A userland-level raid type solution. This might have replaced my use of rsync, which can only be good.

2011-07-17 – The last update was June 2008. The fourm was never particularly active, and was last used at the end of 2009.
2016-12-15 – still inactive.

update 2 – this is basically pointless with contemporary hardware and software. Just use the defaults for something like cgdisk or GParted:

https://gparted.org/display-doc.php?name=help-manual#gparted-specify-partition-alignment

Use MiB alignment for modern operating systems.
…

The Cylinder/Head/Sector values reported by modern disk devices no longer have a direct physical relationship to the data stored on the disk device. Hence it is no longer valid to use this alignment setting to achieve enhanced performance.

update: cgdisk, when beginning with a new partition table, when creating the first partition, automatically creates a small empty partition before it, and thus is said to align everything properly. I haven’t double-checked this.
