Issue 675: Cylinder calculation is wrong

Reported by Nikolaus Schaller, Jan 5, 2015

we see reports like this:

   Device Boot    Start       End   #sectors  Id  System
/dev/sdc1   *       128    787821     787694   c  W95 FAT32 (LBA)

Warning: partition 1 does not end at a cylinder boundary
Warning: partition 2 does not start at a cylinder boundary
Warning: partition 2 does not end at a cylinder boundary
end of partition 2 has impossible value for cylinders: 973 (should 
be in 0-972)

They are not harmful but indicate a calculation error for rounding.

Well, it even appears that we can ignore that completely.

And fdisk -c will silence the error message.

Is now ignored (sdfisk uses -L option)

Status: Fixed
