so, blockdev does not show end, but does confirm sdc5 start is off
by 2560, same as fdisk.

all of which indicates i should repartition drive with fdisk.

is there any easier way such as using gparted or sparted so that
partitioning will be by cylinder and not sector?

thank you again. much appreciate.
