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/disk12WARNING: 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?
If overwriting 1 Gbyte doesn't work, how about overwriting all of it? Or, if in the mood for adventures, the last part of the disk?
What did you use to overwrite the first part of the disk? dd? -- Cheers John -- spambait [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Advice http://webfoot.com/advice/email.top.php http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 You cannot reply off-list:-) _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
