When other OS is present on the hard drive (like e.g. BSD), there are
additional partitions detected by Linux. This may look like this:
hda: hda1 hda2 hda3 hda4 < hda5 hda6 hda7 >
hda3:
sfdisk obtains the partition table from the system and it looks like this:
# sfdisk -l /dev/hda
Disk /dev/hda: 38913 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track
Units = cylinders of 8225280 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0
Device Boot Start End #cyls #blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 0+ 12747 12748- 102398278+ 7 HPFS/NTFS

/dev/hda13 17363+ 19003 1641- 13178672
The partitions 8 to 13 should not be displayed!
# sfdisk -V /dev/hda
Warning: partitions 3 and 8 overlap
The partition table is perfectly correct!
