hi there,

please compare the following for my external usb disk:

amaaq> sudo fdisk sd0
Disk: sd0       geometry: 60801/255/63 [976768065 Sectors]
Offset: 0       Signature: 0xAA55
         Starting       Ending       LBA Info:

and the dmesg when plugged in:

umass0 at uhub3 port 4 configuration 1 interface 0
umass0: Western Digital External HDD, rev 2.00/0.00, addr 2
umass0: using SCSI over Bulk-Only
scsibus1 at umass0: 2 targets
sd0 at scsibus1 targ 1 lun 0: <WD, 5000AAJS Externa, 101a> SCSI2 0/direct fixed
sd0: 476940MB, 476940 cyl, 64 head, 32 sec, 512 bytes/sec, 976773168 sec total


the cylinders, heads, sectors and the number of total sectors do not match.
what does this mean?
