Hi; Not a crisis -- I am just futzing about looking at the hardware on my machine using command line commands. Is there a way to confirm my hard disks have been formatted with an LBA (logical block accessing) scheme rather than CHS? Actually I am pretty sure they have been. I was just wondering how I could get a look-see for future reference. root]# lshw shows they have extended partitions -- but I was wondering if there was some other command that definitively specified LBA, CHS, or whatever else?
"fdisk -l" shows the existing partitioning. Generally, if you see 255 heads and 63 sectors per track, you've got LBA set up. If the head and sector counts are different, you probably have CHS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer ricks@xxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Consciousness: that annoying time between naps. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
