Thanks dundee for your congratulations.
This keeps our motivation to develop the firmware. ;)
Indeed, you have an AF disk. So you must use a non standard partitions table.
First, you used an old partition table. Now, more space is attributed for the system partitions (twice enlarged):
- Code: Select all
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/sda: 2000.3 GB, 2000398934016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 243201 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 64 514048+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 65 128 514080 83 Linux
/dev/sda3 129 192 514080 82 Linux swap
/dev/sda4 193 243201 1951969792+ 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 193 292 803218+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda6 293 293 8001 83 Linux
/dev/sda7 294 357 514048+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda8 358 243201 1950644398+ 83 Linux
No need to use the trick
I solve it with using: > fdisk -cu -H224 -S56 /dev/sdx
With this new partition table and with an AF disk, the following partition table must be used :
Partition 1 start 9 end 72
partition 2 start 73 end 136
partition 3 start 137 en 200
partition 4 start 201 end xxxxxxxx
Partition 5 start 209 end 312
Partition 6 start 321 end 328
Partition 7 start 337 end 400
Partition 8 start 409 end xxxxxxxx
Note the sda4 and sda8 size must be divisable by 8. So, with a 1,5TB disk, the end cylinder is :
xxxxxxx= (disknbmaxcylinders-y - 200) , choose y between 0 and 7 where xxxxxx will be divisable by 8
So if your disk has :
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 182401 cylinders, xxxxxx is equal to 182400 :
(182400-200)/8=22775 => ok!
