The disk "/dev/sdf" has a size of 290GB, that part should be obvious.
The other disk "/dev/sdh" was not yet partitioned. A disk drive has to be written with some low-level information prior to be used by an operating system. This is the "partitioning" first, which divides the disk in one or more logical "disks" - partitions. Only after partitioning these logical disks can be used to store filesystems on them. Storing the file system information is called "formatting".
Think of a disk like a bare storage room: to actually store something in it you first have to build some shelves, on which to store the goods you want to store, probably prepare a list where you can enter all the things you stored and the place they are at to find them again, etc.. Formatting is like building these shelves and the list. It is preparing the storage room for actually storing goods there.
Hi,
Can we modify the GDB source code so as to analyze core dumps from different targets? From my analysis, I think we need to build our section table statically for each target. i.e., including the various address boundaries in build_section_table() function. If this is the case, then the GDB... (2 Replies)

Hi,
Recently I faced with need of analyze root disk. I figured out two possible ways to do it:
1. Practical. Boot from CD and run format
2. Theoretical. Create live upgrade boot environment on another disk, activate it, reboot, unmont all root disk partitions and run format.
I've already... (3 Replies)
Hello there,
i am trying to write a shell script to analyse some of my log files.
I want the script to check if there is a logfile from yesterday or today (some times the script that creates the logfile takes a bit longer and its after 00:00) and search the logfile itself if the script was... (0 Replies)

Hello,
MBR partition table made by linux fdisk looks certainly not correct when printed by openbsd fdisk:
Partition table created on linux (centos 6.3):

acorn-fdisk
FDISK(8) BSD System Manager's Manual FDISK(8)NAME
acorn-fdisk -- partition editor for Acorn/RISC OS machines
SYNOPSIS
acorn-fdisk -h | --help | -v | --version
acorn-fdisk [-t scheme | --type scheme] -l | --list [device ...]
acorn-fdisk [-t scheme | --type scheme] -s | --size partition
acorn-fdisk [-t scheme | --type scheme] [device]
DESCRIPTION
The acorn-fdisk utility allows one to display or interactively edit partition tables for Acorn/RISC OS machines in various formats. Using
the PC/BIOS format, standard IBM PC (i386) partition tables can also be accessed. When no optional device is given, it defaults to /dev/hda
or /dev/sda.
The options are as follows:
-h | --help Display a short usage and exit immediately.
-l | --list Display the partition table(s) of all devices.
-s | --size Display the size of partition.
-t | --type Select the partitioning scheme to use. Valid schemes are:
EESOX Eesox SCSI on the Acorn machines.
ICSIDEFS ICS IDE.
Filecore/Linux Linux on Filecore. This uses the non-ADFS descriptor to point to the start of the disc to be partitioned. The
first two sectors contain a partition table to identify the Linux partitions contained within.
PC/BIOS PC/BIOS partitioning scheme. This consists of a partition table in the first sector of the disk which contains
both CHS and LBA values for the partitions. There can be up to four entries in the primary partition table.
One of these can be an extended partition containing up to four extra partitions.
PowerTec PowerTec SCSI on the Acorn machines.
Filecore/RISCiX RiscIX on Filecore.
-v | --version
Display the version of acorn-fdisk and exit immediately.
If neither -l | --list or -s | --size are given, the partition table of the given device will be edited interactively.
EXAMPLES
Display the default device's partition table on a PC:
acorn-fdisk --type PC/BIOS -l
Display the PC partition table of /dev/sda:
acorn-fdisk --type PC/BIOS --list /dev/sda
Display the size in blocks of the partition /dev/sda1:
acorn-fdisk --type PC/BIOS --size /dev/sda1
Edit the MBR partition table interactively:
acorn-fdisk --type PC/BIOS
Display the partition table of an MBR backed up to a file:
acorn-fdisk -t PC/BIOS -l mbrdump.bin
Display the size of the first partition on a device where the MBR would be restored from the backup file mbrdump.bin:
acorn-fdisk -t PC/BIOS -s mbrdump.bin1
