Hi, I'm trying to use parted with an iPod 80GB. the sector size is 2048, so I hoped to succed with version 1.8.3. But this is the output:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# parted /dev/sda Warning: Device /dev/sda has a logical sector size of 2048. Not all parts of GNU Parted support this at the moment, and the working code is HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL. GNU Parted 1.8.3 Using /dev/sda Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands. (parted) print Error: Unable to open /dev/sda - unrecognised disk label. (parted) quit Information: Don't forget to update /etc/fstab, if necessary. While fdisk succeds [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# fdisk /dev/sda Note: sector size is 2048 (not 512) The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 2432. There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024, and could in certain setups cause problems with: 1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO) 2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK) Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2432 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 2048 = 32901120 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 4 128394 0 Empty /dev/sda2 5 2432 78011640 b W95 FAT32 Is it supposed to work? Am I missing anything? I'm using kernel 2.6.20.3 which I've recompiled, on a Fedora Core 5.
