A possible bug in fdisk command??? 2004-07-27 - By Shan Jing
Back
Looking at the following "fdisk -l" output, shouldn't the line
"Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes" be
"Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 sectors" ????
(note "bytes" and "sectors") It's not a big deal, just little confusing when
first looking at the size of the disk.
==========================================================================
