30 Create and modify an \fBfdisk\fR partition table on x86 systems
36 Create and modify an \fBfdisk\fR partition table on removable media on SPARC or
48 This table is used by the first-stage bootstrap (or firmware) to identify parts
50 partition containing the second-stage bootstrap (the \fIactive\fR Solaris
51 partition). The \fIrdevice\fR argument must be used to specify the raw device
56 mode. In interactive mode, the program displays the partition table as it
59 self-explanatory.
62 In interactive mode, if there is no partition table on the disk, the user is
65 Solaris system and makes the Solaris system partition active. In either case,
66 when the initial table is created, \fBfdisk\fR also writes out the first-stage
67 bootstrap (x86 only) code along with the partition table. In this mode, (x86
68 only) when creating an  entry for a non-EFI partition on a disk that is larger
69 than 2 TB (terabytes), \fBfdisk\fR warns that the maximum size of the partition
84 section of the disk can be filled with a user-specified pattern and mode
87 Note -
94 When \fBfdisk\fR creates a partition, the space is allocated in the \fBfdisk\fR
95 partition table, but the allocated disk space is not initialized.
97 partition, and \fBformat\fR(1M) is required to write the VTOC or EFI/GPT
106 \fB\fBCreate a partition\fR\fR
110 This option allows the user to create a new partition. The maximum number of
111 partitions is 4. The program will ask for the type of the partition (SOLARIS,
112 MS-DOS, UNIX, or other). It will then ask for the size of the partition as a
115 size of the partition in cylinders. If a \fBc\fR is not entered, the program
116 will determine the starting cylinder number where the partition will fit. In
117 either case, if the partition would overlap an existing partition or will not
124 \fB\fBChange Active (Boot from) partition\fR\fR
128 This option allows the user to specify the partition where the first-stage
129 bootstrap will look for the second-stage bootstrap, otherwise known as the
130 \fIactive\fR partition.
136 \fB\fBDelete a partition\fR\fR
140 This option allows the user to delete a previously created partition. Note that
141 this will destroy all data in that partition.
147 \fB\fBChange between Solaris and Solaris2 Partition IDs\fR\fR
152 system partition identifier and the previous one. This does not affect any data
153 in the disk partition and is provided for compatibility with older software.
163 This option provides the extended partition menu to the user. Use the extended
164 partition menu to add and delete logical drives, change the sysid of the
166 made in the extended partition, you must return to the main menu using the
167 extended partition submenu option \fBr\fR. There is also an option to display
168 the list of options that the extended partition submenu supports. Given below
180 or in human readable form - KB, MB, or GB), and the partition ID. While
181 specifying the partition ID, there is an option (\fBI\fR) that you can use to
205 This submenu option displays the supported operations in the extended partition
244 Exit the extended partition submenu and return to the main menu.
251 Use the following options to include your modifications to the partition table
269 This option exits without modifying the partition table.
