Linux Large HD Question Hi,
I'm install my brand new Toshiba 20GB HD and I install Win98 and
RH7.1. The following it's my partition disk schema:
---------------- Hard disk 1
No. Type Size Boot
-- ---- -------- ----
Win98 Root > 1 FAT32 4055 MB **
Boot (LILO) > 2 Ext2FS 47 MB
3 Extended 11099 MB
Some FAT space > 4 FAT32 3875 MB
Logical drives:
/usr > Ext2FS - 4102 MB
/ > Ext2FS - 2055 MB
/home > Ext2FS - 1027 MB
Linux swap/UFS - 258 MB
I reserve space for hibernation. All works fine but... when I boot Win98,
this SO shows me 3 drives, C: (partition 1), D: (empty but with the same
name and size of partition 4) and E: (partition 4, with data). I don't
trust in Win98 handle this type of error, somebody have the same problem? I
don't have any problem in Linux.

Damien,
I don't know where you put your hibernation partition but it looks as if
your /usr partition is at risk.
My partitions (from linux fdisk)
Device Boot Start End Blocks ID System
/dev/hda1 * 1 1014 8144923 b Win95 FAT32
/dev/hda2 1015 1019 40162 83 Linux (/boot)
/dev/hda3 1029 1063 281137 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda4 1064 2432 10996492 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 1064 1318 2048256 83 Linux (/)(Rieserfs)
/dev/hda6 1319 2432 8948173 83 Linux (/home)(Rieserfs)
The hibernation goes in the gaps between 1019 and 1029, about fifty meg
either side of the 8G boundary. I believe that the Rieser partitions don't
show the correct type is because Mandrake 7.1 implemented reiserfs before it
was generally available - my desktop shows a different ID.
>From windows, I see only a C: drive; the fdisk shows:
Partition Status Type Volume Label MBytes System
c: 1 A PRI DOS LIBRETTO 7954 FAT32
2 non-DOS 39
3 non-DOS 275
4 EXT DOS 10739
