It means that the partition does not end on a cylinder boundary. By
that, I mean that, after conversion to a CHS layout (cylinder, head,
sector), the partition doesn't end on head 254, sector 63 and a cylinder
boundary.
Thanks Rick,
I Googled and "manned" and couldn't find anything on this. I didn't look at
the source but then again.... I am not a "source guy". So this situation is
not a negative thing... Just a notice?
