Storage drive problems

jldugger at jldugger:~ $ mkfs.reiserfs /dev/sda1

jldugger at jldugger:~ $ sudo fdisk /dev/sda
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 24321.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
   (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

Command (m for help): p

Like I said,  someone wondered about inodes, but reiser doesn't report
them regularly.

Also, is there a way to set the reply-to on this mailing list to
kclug at kclug.org instead of the original author of a particular sender?
On more than one occasion I've meant to send to the list and sent a
direct reply instead, so I thought I'd see if there's some option I'm
missing that could help the absent minded like myself.
