I have a usage note for you and the person who did that partitioning. If you start the partition at block 1 instead of block zero it probably can coexist nicely with normal fdisk partitioning as well. (It used to be able to since x86 partition tables didn't bother with blocks on the first "cylinder" other than block zero.) I designed RDPrepX and HDWrench to take advantage of that. (And I used it myself. Erm I used a LOT of abominations such as safely nested partitions.) {^_^} -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
