[SuSE Linux] Different Physical and Logical endings. . .?
Should I be worried about an output of "fdisk -l" that looks like this?!

I would, look at all those Win95 partition's :) Actually, if your referring to the "different physical/logical endings" part, I havn't encountered that yet myself.
If so, what should I do? I have no idea why it would be like it is
If in fact thats what your worried about, I suppose you could fdisk that partition out and then reinstate it later, but I don't think it will keep the same Device name when its reinstated. Anyone know this for sure? -- Ec|ipse on EFnet - tomas@primenet.com - <A HREF="http://www.primenet.com/~tomas"><A HREF="http://www.primenet.com/~tomas</A">http://www.primenet.com/~tomas</A</A>> Ec|ipse@|Watcher| - botnet webpage down until further notice Slackware Linux v3.6 - Kernels 2.0.35/2.1.131 - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

Partition 2 has different physical/logical endings: phys=(782, 254, 63) logical=(783, 254, 63)
I have the same thing on both of my disks. I think it's probably down to the Win/DOS FDisk. Anyway, they've both been like it over a year now, and it hasn't done any harm...
