Subject:procparbreastions and fdisk

Hi, I used drakx and fdisk to fiddle around with my parbreastions (mdk10.1), and it all seemed to work fine. Mdk was happy, all was running smooth.

Now I had some free space. And I decide to do a mandriva install. To my surprise, it told me that the parbreastion table was too corrupt, but I decided to go on anyway. And then it told me that my sda had the maximum no. of parbreastions it could have, and that I should first delete some of them. This was unexpected.

Then I came back to mdk and looked atproc-parbreastions and fdisk -l. They disagree!!!

Here are the outputs:

fdisk -l:

Diskdev-sda: 160.0 GB, 16004188568 plus 16 bytes 90 heads, 63 sectors-track, 55129 cylinders Units = cylinders of 5670 * 512 = 2903040 bytes

proc-parbreastions:

drakx matches with fdisk -l. Also, while I modified my parbreastions, I got error 16 from fdisk everytime I tried to write out the table, though it didn't seem to harm.

mandriva installation's output matches withproc-parbreastions.

How do I bring them to sync? And which is the correct one?

Thanks,

Manu.
