FDISK versus PARTED

[Vilmar Klemt]

Dear François,

do you mean FDISK? I can't find FSDISK.

PARTED has worked well for me all the time.

Occasionally I need repartitioning, so I preferred PARTED
generally over FDISK.

I encountered only one peculiar problem with PARTED:
Starting and end addresses "sometimes" are accepted only,
in very coarsely grained sizes, so e.g. 7.1 GB instead of
7.1234 GB (or 7123.4 MB). "Sometimes" means, this behavior turned
out to differ between versions or even between different machines
(with the same version numbers).

Does your remark mean you consider PARTED less reliable than
FDISK?

Regards,

Vilmar Klemt
