The fdisk command displays some partitions with a plus sign in the Bocks number.
root@orion> fdisk -l /dev/sdb Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 1 127 1020096 83 Linux /dev/sdb2 128 2039 15358140 83 Linux /dev/sdb3 2040 2294 2048287+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sdb4 2295 9729 59721637+ 5 Extended
I understand the meaning is that not all the blocks are included in the fdisk value.
Is this meaningful at all when resizing/moving/copying a partition or creating a volume or raid disk?
