[root@Libretto philip]# fdisk /dev/hda The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 1836. 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): p Disk /dev/hda: 15.1 GB, 15103033344 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1836 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System Drive letter /dev/hda1 1 192 1542208+ 7 HPFS/NTFS OS/2 /dev/hda2 193 893 5630782+ b Win95 FAT32 C:, Windows 2000 /dev/hda3 * 894 894 8032+ a OS/2 Boot Manager - /dev/hda4 895 1836 7566615 5 Extended /dev/hda5 * 895 933 313236 6 FAT16 D:, OS/2 maint. /dev/hda6 * 934 935 16033+ 83 Linux /boot /dev/hda7 * 936 1016 650601 b Win95 FAT32 E:, Windows 98 /dev/hda8 * 1017 1028 96358+ a0 IBM Thinkpad hibernation hibernation space /dev/hda9 * 1029 1044 128488+ 82 Linux swap - /dev/hda10 * 1045 1363 2562336 83 Linux / /dev/hda11 * 1364 1836 3799341 b Win95 FAT32 F:, data Command (m for help):
