Hello :-) I'm revising the partition HOWTO, using openSUSE 11.1 as example. I try to understand fdisk output. namely this one from an USB key: .......................... Disk /dev/sdb: 2012 MB, 2012217344 bytes 47 heads, 46 sectors/track, 1817 cylinders Units = cylinders of 2162 * 512 = 1106944 bytes Disk identifier: 0x04030201 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 1 1818 1964932 6 FAT16 ....................... I can't understand the underlying calculus. How is the byte number found? 47 heads * 46 s/t = 2162, ok 2162 * 512 = 1106944, ok but 1817 cyl * 1106944 bytes = 2011317248, not 2012217344 as shown any idea? thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-eic8MSSfM http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1412160445 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
