[ale] USB->IDE problems

[Chris Fowler]

I've got a problem when I attach a USB external drive to my 2.2.24 linux
system.  It seems that fdisk only sees 1286MB when in fact the drive is
20.4

Here is FDISK output.

[cfowler at devel cfowler]$ sudo fdisk /dev/sda

Command (m for help): p

Disk /dev/sda: 1286 MB, 1286062080 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 156 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1             1      2482  19936633+  83  Linux
Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings:
     phys=(1023, 254, 63) logical=(2481, 254, 63)

Any ideas?
