Why excactly does the partition table say 450 cylinders when the kernel believes it to be 448 cylinders? Someone is wrong. Either the device was partitioned wrong and hence formated wrong, or whatever driver the kernel is using to read it is broken and returns the wrong size for the device. I have never heard of /dev/tfa0p* either. What is that? > Windows formatted info > ---------------------- > Disk /dev/tfa0: 448 cylinders, 2 heads, 32 sectors/track > Units = cylinders of 32768 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0 > > Device Boot Start End #cyls #blocks Id System > /dev/tfa0p1 * 0+ 449 450- 14371+ 1 FAT12 > /dev/tfa0p2 0 - 0 0 0 Empty > /dev/tfa0p3 0 - 0 0 0 Empty > /dev/tfa0p4 0 - 0 0 0 Empty > Warning: partition 1 extends past end of disk Identical. Sure makes it look like a driver error on the linux side in that case.
