 I have an 84g raid unit I'm trying to fdisk.  When the computer boots I get
the  following info on the drive. 
SCSI device sdb: hdwr sector= 512 bytes. Sectors= 164659200 [80400 MB] [80.4 GB] 
When I fdisk it I get different info and after partitioning and mke2fs the 
dirve only mounts with 14g of space.  I know this is a geometry issue but why 
is it an issue?  Can fdisk be fixed?
