As to loss, maybe yes. When you allocate using multipliers, (10GB, 100MB, etc.) the bytes per cylinder is used as a divisor. This *may* leave some part of a cylinder unused at the end. With todays drive sizes, even anal me doesn't worry about it anymore.
well, I was wondering about that when I wanted to duplicate a partition and I wasn't able to get exactly the same block size in fdisk, neither with size in GB nor with last cylinder.
