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.
