When getting my desktop ready for openSUSE 11.0, resizing the windoze partition to make more room in /home, I noticed two partitions on the hard drive that I did not create, but what is even weider is when I add up all the partition sizes it says the drive is bigger than it really is. I have the output of YaST partitioner, and fdisk all look a bit odd to me: YaST2 /dev/sda 111.7 GB WDC-ED1200JS-00N /dev/sda1 38.3 GB HPFS/NTFS /windows/C /dev/sda2 68.4 GB Extended /dev/sda5 2.0 GB Linux swap swap /dev/sda6 20.0 GB Linux native /dev/sda7 18.5 GB Linux native / /dev/sda8 27.8 GB Linux native /home fdisk Disk /dev/sda: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0xb9290507 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 5009 40229102 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda2 5663 14593 71738257+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sda5 5663 5924 2104483+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda6 5925 8535 20972826 83 Linux /dev/sda7 8536 10958 19462716 83 Linux /dev/sda8 10959 14593 29198106 83 Linux I know I did not create the sda2 and sda6 partitions on the disk, and seeing as how sda6 is not mounted anywhere I can just put that space to good use somewhere, but I don't know about the extended partition is there a way I can check and see what is is for? -- "We must plan for freedom, and not only for security, if for no other reason than only freedom can make security more secure."
