Well, a _funny_ thing happened. I took the system down this a.m.
to put another drive in (/dev/hdd) so I could backup data from /dev/hda.
After reboot, partitioning /dev/hdd and formating /dev/hdd partitions,
I fdisk -l /dev/hdc (and all drives for that matter) and I was
surprised to see that the partition table is now correct after rebooting
-- hdc was the drive that previously had the hdc1 and hdc2 partitions
defined across cylinder boundaries.
Can anyone explain this?
