CHS has never been important for Linux, and this addressing concept does not make any sense for new devices. [...] Since version 2.26 sfdisk does not provide the --DOS, [...], --cylinders, --heads, --sectors, [...] I wonder what are the consequences of not using theses options on recent sfdisk. If I remember well, In the script I used, it worked without theses options, but it might have been by pure luck. Denis.
