Nop, i did a test to Squeeze fdisk, and cfdisk over similar conditions (windows 7, and Debian, it shows Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x7221e240 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 153 1227776 7 HPFS/NTFS Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/sda2 153 19370 154357760 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda3 59527 60802 10238976 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda4 19370 41291 176074880+ 5 Extended /dev/sda5 19370 19893 4198400 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda6 19893 35212 123045888 83 Linux /dev/sda7 35212 41291 48829536 83 Linux Partition table entries are not in disk order > > Where did you get a version of cfdisk that is installable on normal Debian > system? I did not do it, but GNU-fdisk use libparted; I did another test using windows 7, and Slackware-13.37; both fdisk, and cfdisk work correctly, they do not say "Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.", then the problem could be that 4k-aware (as it is named by Seagate) is not present on Squeeze fdisk, sfdisk, and cfdisk.
