Hello, I'm writing a new http://wiki.tldp.org/Partition-Mass-Storage-Tools-HOWTO
and so do a scan of the various partitionning tools available.
1) I noticed that openSUSE only provide util-linux fdisk (kernel) when the prefered one seems to be GNU-fdisk, parted based fdisk (http://www.gnu.org/software/fdisk/).
is there any important reason to do so?
2) Is the YaST partitionner based on parted? if not, are the libraries specific or coming from...?
Yes, YaST uses exclusively parted (as external program, not as a
library) for partitioning.
