When i run
cat /proc/partitions
I get ( notice the block size of sd4 )
major minor #blocks name
8 0 1169686528 sda
8 1 104391 sda1
8 2 2096482 sda2
8 3 2096482 sda3
8 4 1 sda4
8 5 1165387198 sda5
but if I run
/sbin/fdisk -l /dev/sda
I get again ( notice sda4 )
Disk /dev/sda: 1197.7 GB, 1197759004672 bytes

/dev/sda5 536 145619 1165387198+ 83 Linux
This may have something to do with the servers raid configuration as the sda4 is not even mounted or in fstab.
Is this normal?
