Fdisk reports that the physical and logical number of cylinders on a partition are different:
Disk /dev/hda: 128 heads, 63 sectors, 620 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8064 * 512 bytes Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 1 172 693472+ 6 DOS 16-bit >=32M /dev/hda2 * 178 178 178 4032 a OS/2 Boot Manager /dev/hda3 173 173 177 20160 16 Unknown /dev/hda4 179 179 620 1782144 5 Extended Partition 4 has different physical/logical endings: phys=(618, 127, 63) logical=(619, 127, 63) /dev/hda5 179 179 266 354784+ 6 DOS 16-bit >=32M /dev/hda6 267 267 610 1386976+ 83 Linux native /dev/hda7 611 611 620 40288+ 82 Linux swap Since the end cylinder is on my swap partition, would it be safe for me to run swapoff, umount /dev/hda7 and then change the end cylinder of hda7 to 619? I did a complete backup--just in case. If there's a safer way to fix this, I'd like to hear that. Everything is working, but I'm using the OS/2 Boot Manager in Partition Magic and wanted to change some boot parameters. PM won't let me do anything because of the partition error.
