Hi,
yesterday I created a partition on a SAN disk with parted. I
initially created the partition table as 'gpt'. Later, I decided I
wanted to use 'msdos', so I re-created it as msdos. Now, it shows as
msdos, but if I run fdisk against the disk, I get a warning about GPT:
# fdisk -l /dev/mpath/disk12
WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/mpath/disk12'! The
util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted.
Disk /dev/mpath/disk12: 155.1 GB, 155178762240 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 18866 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/mpath/disk12p1 1 18866 151541113+ 83 Linux
I can't seem to make that go away - I've even overwritten the 1st 1GB of
the disk from /dev/zero! Where is the disk storing this information that
I can't seem to get rid of it? Is there a way to completely remove the
GPT partition table?
Thanks,
Kevin
