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?
