Is End Boundry correct?


Recommended Posts

The end should be *168? What does this mean? I just did a preclear.

Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.

Probably that you did not start counting at "0"

 

The sectors are numbered from 0 to 3907029167, a total of 3907029168 sectors.

The heads/tracks/cylinder stuff doesn't apply anymore. The partition looks fine.

 

The output from one of my disks;

Disk /dev/sda: 2000.3 GB, 2000398934016 bytes
1 heads, 63 sectors/track, 62016336 cylinders, total 3907029168 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1              63  3907029167  1953514552+  83  Linux
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.

 

The only odd thing I notice is both end at 3907029167 but mine starts at 63 and yours starts at 64. I was understanding that unRAID left a sector free at the end with a sector 63 partition and that sector is used for a partition starting at sector 64...

 

At any rate, your results still look fine.
