I setup a 73GB drive some time ago using amiga-fdisk from sarge. I'm not sure, however, if I initialised the RDB with HDToolBox before using fdisk. If fdisk sets the size of the logical cylinders wrongly for your hard drive, you can try to edit the number of heads/sectors/cylinders directly with a hex-editor. The RDB is located in the first 1 or 2 blocks of the drive. rolf@snoopy:~$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 8924 cylinders, RDB: 0 Logical Cylinders from 2 to 8923, 8225280 bytes/Cylinder Device Boot Mount Begin End Size Pri BBlks System /dev/sda1 * * 2 26 200812 0 0 Amiga FFS /dev/sda2 27 99 586372 0 0 Linux native /dev/sda3 100 162 506047 0 0 Linux native /dev/sda4 163 225 506047 0 0 Linux native /dev/sda5 226 625 3213000 0 0 Linux native /dev/sda6 626 775 1204875 0 0 Linux native /dev/sda7 776 8873 65047185 0 0 Linux native /dev/sda8 8874 8923 401625 0 0 Linux swap rolf@snoopy:~$ dpkg -l amiga-fdisk Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ ii amiga-fdisk 0.04-9 Partition editor for Amiga Greetings, Rolf -- gpg public key: http://www-2.physik.uni-augsburg.de/~andersro/gpg-key.txt
