[cobalt-developers] OSRCD and big disk

[Gerald Waugh <gwaugh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Did anyone ever figure out why the OSRCD images cannot handle disk larger
than 33.8 GB. Or is there na image that does handle larger drives.

It looked to me like the way the partition table is done.
Most partition tables use the balance of the drive vor the Extended
partition.
===== my RaQ4r partition table =====
   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1             1      4064   2048255+  fd  Linux raid autodetect
/dev/hda2          4065      4585    262584    5  Extended
/dev/hda3          4586      6617   1024128   fd  Linux raid autodetect
/dev/hda4          6618     38792  16216200   fd  Linux raid autodetect
/dev/hda5          4065      4125     30743+  83  Linux
/dev/hda6          4126      4585    231839+  fd  Linux raid autodetect

Note that the Extended partition hda2 starts at 4065 ends at 4585
Normally when you partition a drive the extended partition will contain
the remaining sectors for the drive.

/dev/hda2          4065      38792  nnnnnnnn    5  Extended

Someone once said it was the version of fdisk, but I don't think so

Thoughts?
