Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them. After that, of course, the previous content won't be recoverable. Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite) Command (m for help): m Command action a toggle a bootable flag b edit bsd disklabel c toggle the dos compatibility flag d (HowTos)

Suppose I have some drive with a single partition. For some reason I decide to repartition it, using fdisk. I create multiple partitions, then write the partition table, then exit fdisk.

Code: linux-w0sv:~/Desktop # fdisk -l

WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sda'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted.

Warning: ignoring extra data in partition table 5  <<<--what short of warning it is?--->>

I used a whole device as LVM physical partition, just so

sudo pvcreate /dev/xvdg

Unfortunately, while this was in use, I then accidentally overwrote some data (I think), by writing a new partition table:

sudo fdisk /dev/xvdg, add new partition, write partition table, delete partition, write empty partition table

This is where I am currently at.

I ran fdisk on the wrong HD. I basically cleared partition table, pressed w and quited fdisk and only then realized that that was my main harddrive...

I got this message:

WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device or resource busy. The kernel still uses the old table.

Hello,

MBR partition table made by linux fdisk looks certainly not correct when printed by openbsd fdisk:

Partition table created on linux (centos 6.3):

Hello:

PC: Thinkpad T500

1. I had for one year F10 and Vista Ultimate working in dual boot with Grub.

Three days ago Lenovo support recommended I update my BIOS from 2.07 to 3.12, as I had some intermitent Sleep problems in Vista. Then my problems started.

Our present OpenBSD server needed more disk space, so we replaced the 13 GB disk (it's pretty old too) with 150GB. An image was made and then restored on the new disk. So far, so good. The new disk has a 13GB OpenBSD partition, it boots and works as before.

Next order of business: use the other 135 GB.

This is my new output but I didn't manage to fix the order...[konos@archBox ~]$ sudo fdisk -l Warning: ignoring extra data in partition table 5 Warning: ignoring extra data in partition table 5 Warning: ignoring extra data in partition table 5
