OR.........
fdisk(new&improved) /dev/hdc
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 66305.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

Yes I know that "cfdisk" == "calculated fdisk" will return the same.
Second:
hdparm -i /dev/hdb
/dev/hdb:
Model=QUANTUM FIREBALL ST3.2A, FwRev=A0F.0800, SerialNo=153725642425
Kernel Drive Geometry LogicalCHS=782/128/63 PhysicalCHS=6256/16/63
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
hdparm -i /dev/hdg
/dev/hdg:
Model=Maxtor 54098U8, FwRev=DA620CQ0, SerialNo=K802S4EC
Kernel Drive Geometry LogicalCHS=79406/16/63 PhysicalCHS=79406/16/63
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is what I find useful........
OOPs......this is is interesting on the table......from "cfdisk"
what happened?
