I thought the way it used to work was that in the default msdos compatibility mode, fdisk set the minimum start sector to 63, and that if you turned off dos mode, you could then start a partition on sector 1. Since then the sector 2048 change has happened, so now it seems your choice for minimum sector is 63, or 2048, with no way to get under 63. Parted defaults to sector 2048, but lets you enter a start sector of 1 ( and warns you ). Is there no way to force fdisk to do this, or is this a sort of bug or feature loss that was introduced by the move to sector 2048? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
