My /proc/partitions table contains:

major minor  #blocks  name

   3     0   58605120 ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc
   3     1   20201706 ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1
   3     2      56227 ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2

   3     6   16811991 ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part6


The output of fdisk -l /dev/hda1 is:

Disk /dev/hda1: 20.6gb, 20686546944 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2514 cylinders

I don't know why it is reporting the size as 20.6gb, it's a 60gb drive.  I ran the fdisk -l /dev/hda2, here is the output:

Disk /dev/hda2: 57mb, 57576960 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7 cylinders
units = cylinders of 16065 * 512=8225280 bytes

Disk  /dev/hda2 doesn't contain a valid partiton table


Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Kent
