OK, having actually read what dmesg says (instead of making assumptions), I see: hda: max request size: 128KiB hda: cannot use LBA48 - full capacity 390721968 sectors (200049 MB) hda: 268435456 sectors (137438 MB) w/8192KiB Cache, CHS=16709/255/63, UDMA(100) hda: hda1 hda2 hda3 hda4
and fdisk reports: # /sbin/fdisk -l
Disk /dev/hda: 137.4 GB, 137438953472 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 16709 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/hda2 14 1057 8385930 83 Linux /dev/hda3 1058 1188 1052257+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hda4 1189 6169 40009882+ 83 Linux
So the disk is being correctly downgraded to a non-lba48-compatible size. In which case, why is the disk getting trashed?
Maybe there's a fault on the disk itself? I'll find a system that does lba48 and try it there...
Steve.
