Partition problems

[sburgener@objeng.ch (Sven Burgener)]

Hi all

When running fdisk -l I get the following:

box:~ # fdisk -l

Disk /dev/hda: 64 heads, 63 sectors, 787 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 4032 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *         1        11     20632+  83  Linux
Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings:
     phys=(40, 15, 63) logical=(10, 15, 63)
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary:
     phys=(40, 15, 63) should be (40, 63, 63)
/dev/hda2            11        76    131544   82  Linux swap
Partition 2 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-Linux?):
     phys=(41, 0, 1) logical=(10, 16, 1)
Partition 2 has different physical/logical endings:
     phys=(301, 15, 63) logical=(75, 31, 63)
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary:
     phys=(301, 15, 63) should be (301, 63, 63)
/dev/hda3            76       787   1434384   83  Linux
Partition 3 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-Linux?):
     phys=(302, 0, 1) logical=(75, 32, 1)
Partition 3 has different physical/logical endings:
     phys=(1023, 15, 63) logical=(786, 63, 63)
Partition 3 does not end on cylinder boundary:
     phys=(1023, 15, 63) should be (1023, 63, 63)

Disk /dev/hdb: 128 heads, 63 sectors, 782 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 8064 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hdb1             1       381   1536160+  83  Linux
/dev/hdb2           382       762   1536192   83  Linux
/dev/hdb3           763       782     80640   83  Linux

I have 2 HDs, hda and hdb; both have 3 partitions. hda is the system
disk containing a /boot, a / and a swap partition.

What can I do about the "Partition X has different physical ..." lines
from fdisk -l's output? Anyone experienced this before? Harmful?

Things seem fine; havent'd had problems so far...

I'd like to be CC'ed.

TIA
Sven
