Steve - I had not - but asking sfdisk to list the device on centos has
the wrong geometry to start
with just like fdisk does. it should be 255 heads and 63 sectors.
sfdisk -v
sfdisk (util-linux-ng 2.17.2)
sfdisk -l /dev/sde
Disk /dev/sde: 1022 cylinders, 247 heads, 62 sectors/track
Warning: The partition table looks like it was made
for C/H/S=*/255/63 (instead of 1022/247/62).
For this listing I'll assume that geometry.
Units = cylinders of 8225280 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0
Device Boot Start End #cyls #blocks Id System
/dev/sde1 * 0+ 974- 975- 7830616+ b W95 FAT32
end: (c,h,s) expected (974,221,63) found (1023,254,63)
/dev/sde2 0 - 0 0 0 Empty
/dev/sde3 0 - 0 0 0 Empty
/dev/sde4 0 - 0 0 0 Empty
----------------
This is centos 5
sfdisk -v
sfdisk (util-linux 2.13-pre7)
sfdisk -l /dev/sdb
Disk /dev/sdb: 974 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track
Units = cylinders of 8225280 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0
Device Boot Start End #cyls #blocks Id System
