Hello, I have a question about the config file for setup-storage.
Using the table disk_config disk1 primary / 10000 rw,errors=remount-ro ; -j ext3 logical swap 2000 rw the old *setup_harddisk* created the following partition table: Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 1275 10241406 83 Linux /dev/sda2 1276 1530 2048287+ 5 Extended /dev/sda5 1276 1530 2048256 82 Linux swap / Solaris Additionally on some of our machines a /scratch partition starting at cylinder 1531 was established: /dev/sda3 1531 30401 231906307+ 83 Linux In contrast to that the new setup-storage command creates a somewhat different partition table. disk_config disk1 disklabel:msdos bootable:1 fstabkey:uuid primary / 10000 ext3 rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro logical swap 2000 swap rw leads to partitions which are 1 cylinder shorter than before: Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 1274 10233373+ 83 Linux /dev/sda2 1275 1528 2040255 f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sda5 1275 1528 2040223+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris How should the configuration file for setup-storage look like to reproduce the original partition table? The man page doesn't mention 'c' for cylinders as size specification. Thanks in advance Andreas
