I took the system down this a.m. to put another drive in (/dev/hdd) so I could backup data from /dev/hda. After reboot, partitioning /dev/hdd and formating /dev/hdd partitions, I fdisk -l /dev/hdc (and all drives for that matter) and I was surprised to see that the partition table is now correct after rebooting -- hdc was the drive that previously had the hdc1 and hdc2 partitions defined across cylinder boundaries. Can anyone explain this?
