The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 7296. There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024, and could in certain setups cause problems with: 1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO) 2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK) Command (m for help): Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 7296 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 640 5140768+ b Win95 FAT32 /dev/hda2 * 771 771 8032+ a OS/2 Boot Manager /dev/hda3 641 770 1044225 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda4 772 6428 45439852+ 5 Extended /dev/hda5 * 772 774 24066 83 Linux /dev/hda6 * 775 806 257008+ 6 FAT16 /dev/hda7 * 807 895 714861 b Win95 FAT32 /dev/hda8 * 896 1017 979933+ 83 Linux /dev/hda9 * 1018 1027 80293+ a0 IBM Thinkpad hibernation /dev/hda10 * 1028 1054 216846 82 Linux swap /dev/hda11 * 1055 2340 10329763+ c Win95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/hda12 * 2341 3233 7172991 83 Linux /dev/hda13 * 3234 5146 15366141 c Win95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/hda14 * 5147 6428 10297633+ 83 Linux Partition table entries are not in disk order Command (m for help):
