fdisk reports odd "Start "and "End" sectors on single partition
Hello,
I have a Western Digital 120 GB hard disk which I have put a single parition on using fdisk. However, when I do a: Code:
fdisk -u /dev/hdd Code:
Disk /dev/hdd: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes What is all the other space being used for? Is there any way I can view what is in this extra space? Thanks in advance. ---------------------------------- Supplemental: My other hard disk in this system (the one with all the boot, root and swap crap on it) reports the same thing: Code:
Disk /dev/hdc: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes |
I believe that the first 63, 0 - 62 is the MBR and fdisk is not counting that on the partition.

Thanks.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why the "End" of /dev/hdc3 is not at 234441648? There seems to be 5104 sectors un-accounted for :S |
Supplemental:
It appears that if I run fdisk /dev/hdd (a drive with only one parition on it called /dev/hdd1), I cannot make another partition as fdisk complains about there being no free sectors. However, using fdisk -u /dev/hdd will allow me to make a small parition that fills up the rest of the drive. What the hell is going on here?! the "-u" option simply states you want the partition sizes displayed as sectors rather than cylinders! |
