Trim quotes means to delete repetitive material in the quotation of the previous mail, leaving just the part(s) you are responding to. Especially remove signature blocks and large blocks of data.

I received all of them (-: You need to turn off "html" output -- kernel.org rejects HTML email, even if there's a plain-text alternate in the mail. In thunderbird, go to "Preferences", "Composition", "General", "Send Options..." and then set the check box for sending in plain text. Avoid sending from Gmail -- it's possible but there are quirks. > I ran both gdisk and parted, here is the output: > > gdisk -l /dev/sdb > GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.5 > Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name > 1 2048 5860532223 2.7 TiB 0700 This is good. > gdisk -l /dev/sdc > GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.5 > Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name This is bad. > (there are no values for sdc in both gdisk and parted, looks bad) Yup. Please provide the output of these two commands in separate replies (they'll be too big for one reply): dd if=/dev/sdb1 bs=4k count=4k |hexdump -C |head -n1000 dd if=/dev/sdc bs=4k count=4k |hexdump -C |head -n1000 > I greatly appreciate your help. > > Thank you, You're welcome.
