I've got similar problems on large SCSI disks that were formatted on a
AHA-1740 and then moved to a NCR 53c810. I just did the math and was a bit
displeased to see that I'm using 173 sectors more than the NCR thinks are
there. I assume "bad things" will happen when I get close to filling the
last partition on the disk. How did this happen? Is
backup/repartition/restore the only solution?
