The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 145925.
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., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
   (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

Command (m for help): p

Disk /dev/sdb: 1200.2 GB, 1200276111360 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 145925 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Is it wise to have a 1.2 TB partition ? No
