ok, here's another question to which i don't know the answer -- where does the first partition (/dev/hda1) really start?
i ask since, on my host, fdisk tells me that /dev/hda has 255 heads, 63 sectors, 5836 cylinders (obviously bogus values), but it further says that Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes or that cylinders represent 8M, which seems to match nicely with the subsequent partition sizes. but since fdisk also shows that my /dev/hda1 partition starts at cylinder 1, not 0, does that mean it skips an entire "cylinder" from the beginning of the disk? if so, then you haven't really toasted /dev/hda1. but i'm not sure if this is what these values are telling me. anyone else have an opinion? rday -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
