[NTLUG:Discuss] RH9 detecting incorrect disk geometry

[Neil Aggarwal]

Matt:

It is the same hard drive, but the cylinder boundaries are different
and so the partitions on both disk are different sizes.

I am using this for software RAID, so it make like a LOT easier if
everything is the same.

Thanks,
	Neil
