-
- Also known as the "Disk Manager", fdisk is a hard disk partitioning tool.
- It can create, delete, format, resize, and move partitions and modify their
- attributes. It can copy entire hard disks from one to another.
-
- Usage:
- fdisk [-T] [-o] [disk_name]
-
- The fdisk program is interactive, and can be used in either text or graphics
- mode. It provides the same functionality in both modes; text mode operation
- is menu-driven.
-
- The disk can be automatically selected by specifying its name (as listed by
- the 'disks' command) as the last argument.
-
- Options:
- -T : Force text mode operation
- -o <disk_name> : Clear the partition table of the specified disk
-
- Development of this program is ongoing and will be a major focus of
- improvements in future releases, aiming towards providing much of the same
- functionality of PartitionMagic and similar utilities.
