I running Debian Sarge.
I just bought an Hitachi 160GB, Model HDS722516VLAT80. Yet when I run
sudo fdisk, I see;
sudo fdisk /dev/hdb
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 4111.
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., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/hdb: 33.8 GB, 33820286976 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4111 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdb1 1 4111 33021576 83 Linux
It only shows 33.8 gig.
Any ideas, as to why this happening?
Thanks
