I have seen several posts from you, but all in this vague, almost information-free style.
It would be of interest if you described your actions and the results in detail. Or if you gave explicitly the partition table that you consider strange.
[If you only think about cylinder boundaries: cylinders do not exist, and cylinder boundaries do not exist either. So that in itself does not mean a thing.]
