- FDISK(8) Minix Programmer's Manual FDISK(8)
- NAME
- fdisk - partition a hard disk [IBM]
- SYNOPSIS
- fdisk [-hm] [-sn] [file]
- OPTIONS
- -h Number of disk heads is m
- -s Number of sectors per track is n
- EXAMPLES
- fdisk /dev/hd0 # Examine disk partitions
- fdisk -h9 /dev/hd0 # Examine disk with 9 heads
- DESCRIPTION
- When fdisk starts up, it reads in the partition table and displays it.
- It then presents a menu to allow the user to modify partitions, store the
- partition table on a file, or load it from a file. Partitions can be
- marked as MINIX, DOS or other, as well as active or not. Using fdisk is
- self-explanatory. However, be aware that repartitioning a disk will cause
- information on it to be lost. Rebooting the system immediately is
- mandatory after changing partition sizes and parameters. MINIX, XENIX,
- PC-IX, and MS-DOS all have different partition numbering schemes. Thus
- when using multiple systems on the same disk, be careful.
- Note that MINIX, unlike MS-DOS , cannot access the last sector in a
- partition with an odd number of sectors. The reason that odd partition
- sizes do not cause a problem with MS-DOS is that MS-DOS allocates disk
- space in units of 512-byte sectors, whereas MINIX uses 1K blocks. Fdisk
- has a variety of other features that can be seen by typing h.
- Fdisk normally knows the geometry of the device by asking the driver.
- You can use the -h and -s options to override the numbers found.
