Hi all.
I have a CentOS server:
CentOS release 5.7 (Final)
2.6.18-274.3.1.el5 x86_64
I have two SSD disks attached:

I have /dev/sdc{1,2} mounted and used by /dev/md0, /dev/md1 RAID1. I
would like to add /dev/sdd{1,2} to these RAID's but sfdisk has problems
when I try to make partitions on /dev/sdd.
sfdisk -d /dev/sdc | sfdisk /dev/sdd
Checking that no-one is using this disk right now ...
OK

sfdisk: bad input
As I see in fdisk's and sfdisk output there is a difference at some level
in disk geometry. Could you suggest a solution?
Best regards,
Rafal.
