# amiga-fdisk(8)

Amiga disk partitioning program

## NAME

amiga-fdisk - Amiga disk partitioning program

## SYNOPSIS

**amiga-fdisk** \[ **-l** \] \[ **-v** \] *device*

## DESCRIPTION

**amiga-fdisk** is a program to partition harddisks under Linux/m68k. It uses command line parameters similar to those of the PC **fdisk** program, and operates on the disk associated with *device*. In interactive mode, it behaves similarly to the **fdisk** program.

## OPTIONS

- **-l**

  List partition tables of all disks. If this flag is given, interactive mode isn't entered.

- **-v**

  Show version of the program.

## BUGS

Many of the command line options known from **fdisk** have not been implemented yet.

Using **amiga-fdisk** on large harddisks (like larger than 2 GB) consumes lots of memory, as the program currently tries to read in the entire RDB blocks - which can be several MB if the (reported) geometry of the disk says so (the RDB occupies the first two cylinders of the disk).

The whole stuff about interactive usage of **amiga-fdisk** in this manpage still has to be written.
