I have a SATA hard drive with the following partition structure: Disk /dev/sdb: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders, total 1953525168 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0xa8a8a8a8
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 782236980 1953529577 585646299 a5 FreeBSD /dev/sdb2 235352062 782227455 273437697 5 Extended /dev/sdb5 235352064 245116927 4882432 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sdb6 245118976 293945343 24413184 83 Linux /dev/sdb7 293947392 782227455 244140032 83 Linux Parted won't work with it because FreeBSD (sdb1) goes beyond the end of the disk. In any case, I'd just like to get rid of that partition, but I can't use parted to do it. Will fdisk itself do it with d and then 1? In the meantime, I'm going to try to back up the Linux partitions, which I want to keep: in any case, "destructive" partitioning will be necessary if the use of an application like fdisk fails.
