Quacuno vole fare un test per dirimere la questione?

Ok, visto che la curiosità era tanta, un primo test non distruttivo sembra confermare che nei primi 512 ci sono cose relative alle partizioni, se poi partano proprio da 448 lo lascio testare ad altri.


[root@ors root]# dd if=/dev/hda of=hda-512 bs=512 count=1
[root@ors root]# dd if=/dev/hda of=hda-448 bs=448 count=1
[root@ors root]# sfdisk -l hda-448
Disk hda-448: cannot get size
Disco hda-448: impossibile ottenere la geometria

There are several *fdisk programs around. Each has its problems and strengths. Try them in the order cfdisk, fdisk, sfdisk. (Indeed, cfdisk is a beautiful program that has strict requirements on the partition tables it accepts, and produces high quality partition tables. Use it if you can. fdisk is a buggy program that does fuzzy things - usually it happens to produce reasonable results. Its single advantage is that it has some support for BSD disk labels and other non-DOS partition tables. Avoid it if you can. sfdisk is for hackers only - the user interface is terrible, but it is more correct than fdisk and more powerful than both fdisk and cfdisk. Moreover, it can be used noninteractively.)
