There are several *fdisk programs around.
|
||
|
|
Each has its problems and strengths.
|
||
|
|
Try them in the order
|
||
|
|
-.BR cfdisk ,
|
||
|
|
+.BR parted ,
|
||
|
|
.BR fdisk ,
|
||
|
|
.BR sfdisk .
|

|

-(Indeed,
|
||
|
|
-.B cfdisk
|
||
|
|
-is a beautiful program that has strict requirements on
|
||
|
|
-the partition tables it accepts, and produces high quality partition
|
||
|
|
-tables. Use it if you can.
|
||
|
|
-.B fdisk
|
||
|
|
-is a buggy program that does fuzzy things - usually it happens to
|
||
|
|
-produce reasonable results. Its single advantage is that it has
|
||
|
|
-some support for BSD disk labels and other non-DOS partition tables.
|
||
|
|
-Avoid it if you can.
|
||
|
|
-.B sfdisk
|
||
|
|
-is for hackers only - the user interface is terrible, but it is
|
||
|
|
-more correct than fdisk and more powerful than both fdisk and cfdisk.
|
||
|
|
-Moreover, it can be used noninteractively.)
|
||
|
|
-.PP
|
||
|
|
-These days there also is
|
||
|
|
-.BR parted .
|
||
|
|
-The cfdisk interface is nicer, but parted does much more: it not only
|
||
|
|
-resizes partitions, but also the filesystems that live in them.

The IRIX/SGI type disklabel is currently not supported by the kernel.
|
||
|
|
Moreover, IRIX/SGI header directories are not fully supported yet.
