last partition does not end at end of the device because i always copy the same partition table on the various sticks.
do you prefer actually to partition from scratch? should not make any difference, does it?
I', not so much interested in the actual partition data, as in the total size in sectors, for putting it into the wiki.
Note however that the partition table you are showing above does not align the first partition, it starts at sector 1 when it should start at sector 8192.
