I purchased a new Sandisk 8G microSDHC card. I plan to repartition and reformat it as ext{2,3} for my N810. On the virgin card, fdisk (on my desktop) reports: Disk /dev/sdf: 8168 MB, 8168931328 bytes 39 heads, 5 sectors/track, 81820 cylinders Units = cylinders of 195 * 512 = 99840 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdf1 43 81821 7973376 b W95 FAT32 This seems strange. Does anybody know why: (a) the partition starts at 43 (instead of 1) and (b) the partition ends at 81821 (instead of 81820) Will anything break if I repartition it to use the whole card (1...81820) as a single (ext{2,3}) partition?
