Hi,
in most of the cases the old CHS-geometry isn't used anymore (it can
handle only 8.4 GB btw), so access to the old/new partitions should be
possible to both the old and the new versions.
There is one exception: some bootloaders do have problems with changing
the geometry, because they need e.g
[00:18:28] iirc it affects only big drives
[00:18:41] I have 9 gb drive and I see it in ros without recreating
Could someone please make a reason and decide if partitions need to be
recreated or not? This is all really confusing.
