fdisk having trouble with active linux drive
I was considering changing my Linux partition size to give my Win95
some more room to put it's fat programs on. When I ran fdisk on
/dev/hdb which is my linux only drive I got the following errors.
%root%fdisk /dev/hdb
Warning: ignoring extra data in partition table 5
Warning: ignoring extra data in partition table 5
Warning: ignoring extra data in partition table 5
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/hdb: 64 heads, 63 sectors, 621 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 4032 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdb1 25 25 621 1203552 83 Linux native
/dev/hdb2 1 1 24 48352+ 5 Extended
/dev/hdb5 1 1 24 48321 82 Linux swap
I don't recall why the swap is setup the way it is, it has been a year
or so since I changed it.
When I try and run cfdisk I get the following error.
%root%cfdisk /dev/hdb
FATAL ERROR: Bad logical partition
Press any key to exit fdisk
/dev/hdb is my linux partition that I boot into with loadlin. I did
have some bad blocks a month or so ago but those have been tagged.
Should I try and reconfigure the swap partion? I am a little confused
on what is wrong here.
Thanks for any advice,
Brian
