This:

----
linux-k9na:/home/siberia # fdisk /dev/sdc
Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF
disklabel

Building a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0x5a02840f.
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
After that, of course, the previous content won't be recoverable.

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 267349.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
   (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by
w(rite)
