February 27, 201115 yr The end should be *168? What does this mean? I just did a preclear.

Probably that you did not start counting at "0" The sectors are numbered from 0 to 3907029167, a total of 3907029168 sectors. Joe L.
February 27, 201115 yr Author Is there a way to force the count to 0? I did not see anything about that in the readings on the preclear pages. Is this a critical issue? I am preclearing again since I lost my telnet connection and the T switch said that the preclear was not done. Thanks
February 27, 201115 yr 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.
