NAME

fdisk − boot record partition table maintenance utility

DESCRIPTION

Fdisk is a component of the sautil(8R) package of standalone utility programs. It is used to maintain boot record partition table entries. Fdisk displays and allows changes to be made to the partition table.  It can be used to change the size and location of the 4.3 physical partition. 

Fdisk Commands

There are a number of fdisk commands available:

create
Creates a new 4.3 physical partition. There can be only one 4.3 physical partition per hard disk drive. The starting cylinder and partition length must be specified. (Both are value-checked.)

delete
Deletes an entire physical partition. WARNING!  Deleting a partition will effectively destroy any data on that partition.  Be sure to back up anything you wish to save before doing this. 

disk Specifies the current disk to be examined. 

help Prints out a short description of each command. 

list Prints (lists) the partition table for the current drive. 

quit Quits fdisk and returns control to sautil(8R). 

NOTE

Fdisk is not supported on the IBM RT PC.
