Hi guys, I'm a little confused by this, and although it has never caused any problems, I am somewhat concerned about it. I was looking at my partitions through fdisk and comparing them to the mounted filesystems, and found an oddity (atleast it looks like one to me....) An fdisk produces two partitions as below:
/dev/hda4 420 1216 6401902+ f Win95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hda5 420 1216 6401871 83 Linux If you notice the start and end cylinders, they are both the same. I have tried mounting hda4 to see what it is, but it comes up with the wrong fs type etc. Can anyone put some reasoning into what looks to be a computer contradicting itself?
