[root@localhost Desktop]# fdisk /dev/sdd Note: sector size is 2048 (not 512) The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 2432. 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/sdd: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2432 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 2048 = 32901120 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdd1 1 4 128394 0 Empty /dev/sdd2 21 2432 77497560 b W95 FAT32 /dev/sdd3 5 20 514080 83 Linux Partition table entries are not in disk order Command (m for help): u Changing display/entry units to sectors Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/sdd: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2432 cylinders, total 39075372 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 2048 = 2048 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdd1 63 64259 128394 0 Empty /dev/sdd2 321300 39070079 77497560 b W95 FAT32 /dev/sdd3 64260 321299 514080 83 Linux Partition table entries are not in disk order
