Re: Partition: mounting/fixing bad CHS information partitions of a SCSI drive.

Of course, because it's a container "extended partition". You cannot mount

I am not sure if the drive was specked with CHS ( HP C2247 1Gb on
AHA1520 ), the partition suggests 63 sectors 32 heads which does not seam
to be right since 63 sectors was an invention of IDE drives and resembles
a 528Mb IDE i used to use. I have been trying to arrive at the (long)
values without any luck. I think I may try to plug in some arbitrary
values which will hopefully yield the long values.


DO NOT!!! alter your partition table without enough knowledge.

Oops , forgot about logical inside extended. "fdisk -l" lists extended and logical as opposed to cfdisk.
Without KDE I couldn't hex edit so I never got to try 32x32xCYL.

Now another question: how can you raid5 with only one drive, or are you
hiding something? NOT. We are no psychics.

??? IDE boot drive and 1 C2247 an an ISA aha1520 SCSI adapter.
I think SCSI adapter is always refered to as RAID. Red Hat/Adaptec aacraid driver (1.1-3 Jan 20 2005 )

Thank you.

And now back to networking headaches ( won't even ping today ).
