After partitioning my HD I deleted three partitions and made two new ones. Now there is an overlapping of one partition although I didn't enter the begin value (number of cylinders) displayed by fdisk:
----------------------------------------------------------------------- Disk /dev/sdb: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1115 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 1 1 39 313236 83 Linux native /dev/sdb2 40 40 167 1028160 fd Unknown /dev/sdb3 168 168 1115 7614810 5 Extended /dev/sdb5 168 168 282 923706 fd Unknown /dev/sdb6 283 283 409 1020096 fd Unknown /dev/sdb7 410 410 537 1028128+ fd Unknown /dev/sdb8 794 794 869 610438+ fd Unknown /dev/sdb9 870 870 971 819283+ fd Unknown /dev/sdb10 972 972 1060 714861 fd Unknown /dev/sdb11 1024 1061 1085 200781 82 Linux swap /dev/sdb12 1024 1086 1115 240943+ 83 Linux native /dev/sdb13 538 538 793 2056288+ fd Unknown ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The fd partition type was choosen because I am using software raid. I deleted partition 11 and 12 but after creating a new partition starting at cylinder 1061 there is still the wrong bin value of 1024. Thanks for any advice, Werner
