Hi,
I am using linux 2.4.25, while reading the Large-disk Howto, i learned that linux just uses the starting sector and no of sectors (from the partition table struct) to define partition. I made a little program which zeros the
starting C,H,S and ending C,H,S. my system boots and mounts perfectly, but fdisk gives me error
partition 1 doesnt end at cylinder boundary. why is that ?
and also while creating partition table manually (ie by writing to first sector); do i have to take care of cylinder boundaries.
The Large Disk howto just says that linux doesnt have alignment requirements , but i read at many places that it partition should start and end at cylinder boundaries.
thanks anand
