Andries,
I just one of these Draco Drives from Maxtor for evaluation.
After working the kernel, hdparm, fdisk......I get........
root@p6dnf% hdparm.big -i /dev/hdg
/dev/hdg:

Kernel Drive Geometry LogicalCHS=79406/16/63 PhysicalCHS=79406/16/63
root@p6dnf% fdisk /dev/hdg
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 79406.
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., LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/hdg: 16 heads, 63 sectors, 79406 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdg1 1 79406 40020592+ 83 Linux
