Please advice why I get the following errors: sfdisk: seek error on /dev/cciss/c0d0 - cannot seek to 533078016 (the last lines with the error) when I run the sfdisk command
remark my disk = 300G

If you created or changed a DOS partition, /dev/foo7, say, then use dd(1)
to zero the first 512 bytes: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/foo7 bs=512 count=1
(See fdisk(8).)
