Is this related to Seagate only ? I have a 4.5 GB IBM disk which shows
simmilar behaviour: If I have the first partition mounted during boot,
the partition table vanishes (but if I put it again in place with
fdisk, the data is still there). I haven't tried starting the
partition later in the disk though -- simply mounted by hand when
needed so far.
