Does the disk really "report" or it's just stored on the disk label? I mean, where does fdisk get geometry info? I suppose it's printing the one on the disk label. > > Could > be related to > http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/LVM-HOWTO/sundisklabels.html? Ooopps... I see clearly what you mean. I remember reading that info about LVM some weeks ago, but I didn't linked it to this situation. Raid1 must be writing some management info at the very beginning of the partition, overwriting the sun disk label. I'll try moving the partition 1 cyl from the beggining.
