When i entered #fdisk -l in unbuntu 9.04
following is the result
Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders

But somewhat i can't understand following result.
What is sdb? I searched through internet and knew 'sdb' is the primary slave. What is the primary slave though? What is the primary master? What is different between the two?
and why sda2, sda5 start at same location?
@Dante Jiang, not at all an Ubuntu question, it'd apply to any Linux distribution, Windows, or the non-slice interfaces of BSD. :) – sarnold – 2011-04-09T09:39:39.923
