I have xen-3 running on fc5t3, with 3 domU fc5t3 guests. fdisk is unable to see the virtual disk inside a guest, but parted is able to see it when run. Why is this, and is it likely to be fixed? Darren

There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024, and could in certain setups cause problems with: 1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO) 2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK) Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/xvda: 10.7 GB, 10737418240 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1305 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/xvda1 * 1 1239 9952236 83 Linux /dev/xvda2 1240 1304 522112+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris

And to answer the question "is it likely to be fixed," it''s far more likely if you open a bugzilla for it against fdisk. :-) --Stephen
