Hi there,
Just used Partition Magic 4.0 (on my 9G SCSI hard disk) to resize some
EXT2 partitions. 

First I had that "LI" delima which I solved easily.

Now the system boots and mounts all partitions (including /dev/sda7; read 
on) without any problems. But fdisk reports this:

   Device Boot   Begin    Start      End   Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1            1        1       64   514048+   6  DOS 16-bit >=32M
/dev/sda2           65       65       72    64260   92  Unknown
/dev/sda3   *       73       73      203  1052257+  83  Linux native
/dev/sda4          204      204     1110  7285477+   f  Unknown


Note that /dev/sda2 was of type "Linux Swap; Id=82". Furthermore I had a
few more partitions than the reported 4. Interestingly I mount /dev/sda7
via /etc/fstab, and it mounts without any error :-O

Any idea?

cheers,
Hossein
