8 GB limit on cfdisk?
I'm having a problem partitioning my 9.6 GB harddrive on my Dell P-II
400. This is an EIDE drive. When I use cfdisk, it sees only 8 GB.
I believe that this is due to a limit in cfdisk which sets the max
number of sectors to 1024. Mine should have 1227 (approx).
When I boot Linux it identifies my hard drive and says it has 9.6 GB.
Also, when I used Partition Magic to reformat my windoze 95 area, it
saw all of my disk.
I am running linux 2.0.34, cfdisk 0.8l (from util-linux-2.8), on
Debian 1.3.1r8.
Is this a program limitation? Is there a workaround? Is there
another program for Linux that I could use?
Any and all help is much appreciated.
