Package: util-linux Version: 2.13.1.1-1 Followup-For: Bug #464377 Hi, I installed debian squeeze on a new 160 GB. Prior to installing I created several partitions inside an extended partition which has the extent of 100% of the hard drive. I used GPARTED ver.3.4 live cd to create the partitions. I supply this information in hope it helps. After installing the system I wanted to check everything is ok, I used fdisk and cfdisk:
Here is the outcome: oz...@karo:~$ sudo fdisk -l Disk /dev/hda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00054897 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 19457 156288321 5 Extended /dev/hda5 18139 19457 10594867+ 83 Linux /dev/hda6 3586 18138 116896941 83 Linux /dev/hda7 3459 3585 1020096 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/hda8 1610 3458 14852061 83 Linux /dev/hda9 1 1609 12924198 83 Linux Partition table entries are not in disk order oz...@karo:~$ sudo fdisk -l -u Disk /dev/hda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders, total 312581808 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00054897 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 63 312576704 156288321 5 Extended /dev/hda5 291386970 312576704 10594867+ 83 Linux /dev/hda6 57593088 291386969 116896941 83 Linux /dev/hda7 55552833 57593024 1020096 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/hda8 25848648 55552769 14852061 83 Linux /dev/hda9 189 25848584 12924198 83 Linux Partition table entries are not in disk order cfdisk won't start and complains: FATAL ERROR: Bad logical partition 6: enlarged logical partitions overlap Maybe my partitions really overlap (hda1 and hda5 end in the same cylinder)? Should I edit my partition table ? I am no partition guru... So I hope this report is not redundant.
