rackmounted usr # fdisk /dev/hda The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 4865. 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: 40.0 GB, 40020664320 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4865 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x106f106e Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 7 56196 83 Linux /dev/hda2 8 70 506047+ 83 Linux /dev/hda3 71 800 5863725 83 Linux /dev/hda4 801 4865 32652112+ 5 Extended /dev/hda5 801 1409 4891761 83 Linux /dev/hda6 1410 2018 4891761 83 Linux /dev/hda7 2019 2323 2449881 83 Linux /dev/hda8 2324 2750 3429846 83 Linux /dev/hda9 2751 4865 16988706 83 Linux Command (m for help): n No free sectors available Command (m for help): q rackmounted usr #
