I have two 20GB Western Digital Caviar HDs on an Asus K7V mobo, each on its
own controller. These drives are autotyped in the BIOS. I want to
partition disks in such a way that I have partitions of identical size on
each drive, sitting "right over each other," by which I mean that there
would be a partition that starts at cyl X and ends at cyl Y on /dev/hda and
another partition that also starts at cyl X and ends at cyl Y. I want to do
this in order to create an alternate boot partition as well as two pairs of
partitions for the creation of both a RAID 0 and a RAID 1 volume.
The problem is that fdisk and Disk Druid (this is RH6.2 I'm working with at
the moment) report different "fake" head geometries for each drive. This
means that I cannot place partition boundaries in identical places on both
drives. What is causing the difference?
