hdb4 should be an extended partition. an extended partition is
required to support logical drives.
using normal fdisk should show more results.
e.g. from my laptop
hda1 Primary Linux ext2 23.23
hda2 Logical Linux ReiserFS 526.42
hda6 Logical Linux ext3 526.42
hda7 Logical Linux LVM 28929.77
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 3 22648+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 4 3876 29279880 f Win95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hda5 4 71 514048+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda6 72 139 514048+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda7 140 3876 28251688+ 8e Linux LVM
(odd how SuSE made /dev/hda2 a "Win95 Extended" partition, I partitioned
the disk in suse 8's installer for LVM ..)
