Re:var keeps going readonly 3364

I am not familiar with partd, but the fact that it gives its start and end block? track? cylinder? as a decimal number is bizarre. You would think those things would be integers. Ignoring that, you do not want the parbreastions overlapping and it looks like Minor 3 shares a block (or track or cylinder) with Minor 2. Not good if true. Similarly for Minor 4. Now the logical parbreastion at 5 skips a bit: unusual. As do all the logical ones. Here is what fdisk does for one of my drives:
