Dear all,
I made something wrong with parted, probably trying to create a too big logical partition. Now this is all I can get from parted:
Using /dev/hda Error: Unable to satisfy all constraints on the partition.
Nevertheless, the system is working properly. I have all relevant data on some logical volumes, which use physical volume very quite far from the end of the disk, so they should not be affected by problems there.
Here is what I get by sfdisk:
# sfdisk -L -V /dev/hda Warning: extended partition does not start at a cylinder boundary. DOS and Linux will interpret the contents differently. Warning: partition 21 contains part of the partition table (sector 3180933), and will destroy it when filled
A more detailed output follows:
# sfdisk -l /dev/hda
Disk /dev/hda: 39813 cylinders, 16 heads, 63 sectors/track Warning: extended partition does not start at a cylinder boundary. DOS and Linux will interpret the contents differently. Units = cylinders of 516096 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0
