Because i am adding RDB support to libparted, and i have 3 disks formated in different ways (amiga-fdisk, HDToolBox and SCSIConfig) that do slightly strange things, neither of them respecting the disk geometry that libparted detects on the disks. In particular the old HDToolBox formated HD uses sectors*heads-1 as sectorspercylinder value. > I use HDToolBox under AmigaOS (Amithlon or classic Amiga) and > amiga-fdisk under Linux (on the PC/AmigaOne) > > >I have also seen that some modifications where made to amiga-fdisk, but > >not forwarded to the amiga-fdisk maintainer. > > The modifications aren't ready for public consumption just yet.

I expect you to find the URL from my signature ;-) Yes, sure, i found both it and the CVS directory. > Apt-get and tell me how it worked, ok? ;-) Mmm, i will give it a try, altough it is low on my priority list.
