Hello:
I'd like to create partitions on a new hard drive and would like to give the partitions' sizes in sectors instead of bytes/megabytes/gigabytes. I tried with both cfdisk and fdisk but they take partition size input in megabytes even if units are set to sectors. How could I define the partitions' sizes in sectors? (I want to clone data from other partition and I want the new partition to have exactly the same size as the old one.)
Have you looked at sfdisk? That claims it can work in sectors. The man page also claims that it is "very dangerous" to use to repartition a device but as you have a new disk this may be a risk you are willing to take? -- Don -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
