Interesting. Will this work if I have to fix partitions that do not 
end on cylinder boundaries?

> fdisk -l /dev/hdc

Disk /dev/hdc: 16 heads, 63 sectors, 79656 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hdc1   *         1        64     32098+  83  Linux
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary:
     phys=(3, 254, 63) should be (3, 15, 63)
/dev/hdc2            64     79401  39985785    5  Extended
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary:
     phys=(1023, 254, 63) should be (1023, 15, 63)
/dev/hdc5            64      1052    497983+  82  Linux swap
/dev/hdc6          1052     39812  19535008+  83  Linux
/dev/hdc7         39812     59192   9767488+  83  Linux
/dev/hdc8         59192     79401  10185178+  83  Linux


I was planning repartition using fdisk but if there is a tool to 
change the partitions w/o having to later format the partitions, 
great!
