This has been a long-standing wart, and it'd be nice if >someday we could do geometry handling as well as Linux seems to. :-) Read the Linux Large Disk mini-HOWTO to learn more than you want to know about how not to do geometry handling. Linux seems to handle geometry better because it handles more cases by default. If your case isn't handled, then you may need to understand 20 warts instead of only one to fix it. Bruce
