Hi!

Somebody is trying to use a DVD RAM in linux,
using a DVD ROM drive ( that can read DVD RAM ).

Here are some info :

zen:/usr/src/linux# fdisk -l /dev/hdd

Disk /dev/hdd: 1 heads, 4875840 sectors, 1 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 681536 * 512 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdd1 1 2 609478+ 7 OS/2 HPFS
Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings:
phys=(595, 12, 16) logical=(0, 0, 1218960)
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary:
phys=(595, 12, 16) should be (595, 0, 4875840)

zen:/home/terminus# cat /proc/partitions
major minor #blocks name

3 0 19925880 hda
3 1 9960268 hda1
3 2 9831780 hda2
3 3 128520 hda3
22 64 2437920 hdd

The problem is that the kernel did not recognize
and "install" the hdd1 partition.

Any suggestions ?

sfdisk -R ?
addpart ?
