The old head/cylinder aligned partitions has not really been meaningful since the days of 10GB drives. ie. Most modern drives just report C/H/S that is as large as it legally can be and has nothing to do with real geometry, so aligning to it was pointless.
I understand this, so why is the Yast partitioner in openSUSE using these obsolete terms instead of just displaying sectors? Even worse I've yet to find a formula to convert the cylinders that YaST shows to sectors. -- Med Vennlig Hilsen, A.
