Disk /dev/sda: 15.4GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos

Number  Start   End     Size    Type     File system  Flags
 1      32.3kB  15.4GB  15.4GB  primary  fat32        boot, lba



Disk /dev/sdb: 41.1GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos

Number  Start   End     Size    Type      File system  Flags
 1      32.3kB  6292MB  6292MB  primary   ext3         boot
 3      6292MB  12.6GB  6292MB  primary   ext3
 2      40.3GB  41.1GB  773MB   extended
 5      40.3GB  41.1GB  773MB   logical   linux-swap


Is it all right to have 2 partitions marked with boot flag?

What does boot flag mean and do?

Should I have the lba flag on other primary partitions?

Why are both Partition Tables msdos?
