Hi Freebsd Question about FDISK Do you have an idea what does that '+' means in Blocks columns as seen below it is 419425019+ Does it signify anything , because for certain disks I do not see that '+' as the end of blocks? Thanks Dak [root@kali root]# fdisk /dev/sdk The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 52216. 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/sdk: 429.4 GB, 429496729600 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 52216 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdk1 1 52216 419425019+ 83 Linux Command (m for help):
