The RAID reports it is 512kb sectors. (I think the same thing happens with the disk direct)
None of this helps answer my questions or get the partitions setup correctly:
1) How can I show sectors (instead of cylinders) in Yast partitioner? OR 2) How can I convert cylinders to sectors?
Did you read my post that the Yast Partitioner with openSUSE 11.3 will do it automatically. With older openSUSE, I don't know of a non-expert way. For an expert, I would likely use sfdisk, but there are lots of partitioners and you will be having to force them to work. If you go with sfdisk, you can start with something like: === # partition table of /dev/sda unit: sectors /dev/sda1 : start= 63, size= 4208967, Id=82 /dev/sda2 : start= 4209030, size= 41945715, Id=83 /dev/sda3 : start= 46154745, size=104872320, Id=83 /dev/sda4 : start=151027065, size=337365000, Id= f, bootable /dev/sda5 : start=151027128, size= 41945652, Id=83 /dev/sda6 : start=192972843, size=295419222, Id=83 ==== Hand edit that to be what you want and the run it back into sfdisk. It is not a trivial exercise, so I suggest you google for a tutorial. The only good part of it is that you are working with units of sectors, not cylinders.
