i thought i had sent a prior email with the info, but
i guess not, well here it is:

# fdisk -l /dev/sdb

Disk /dev/sdb: 134 heads, 62 sectors, 1019 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 8308 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdb1             1      1019   4232895   8e  Linux LVM
