%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ gptfdisk The gptfdisk package is a set of programs for creation and maintenance of GUID Partition Table (GPT) disk drives. A GPT partitioned disk is required for drives greater than 2 TB and is a modern replacement for legacy PC-BIOS partitioned disk drives that use a Master Boot Record (MBR). The main program, gdisk, has an inteface similar to the classic fdisk program. &lfs80_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &gptfdisk-md5sum; Download size: &gptfdisk-size; Estimated disk space required: &gptfdisk-buildsize; Estimated build time: &gptfdisk-time; Additional Downloads Recommended patch: gptfdisk Dependencies Recommended (required to build sgdisk) Optional (for Unicode partition names) User Notes: The gptfdisk package comes with a rudimentary Makefile. First we update it to provide a simple build and install interface. Install gptfdisk by running the following commands: patch -Np1 -i ../gptfdisk-&gptfdisk-version;-convenience-1.patch && make POPT=1 This package does not come with a test suite. Now, as the root user: make POPT=1 install POPT=1: Adding this option to the make command is required to build sgdisk. If used, this option needs to be on both the make and the make install line. ICU=1: Adding this option to the make command allows use of Unicode characters in partition names. Installed Programs cgdisk, gdisk, fixparts, and sgdisk Short Descriptions cgdisk is an is a curses-based text-mode tool for manipulating GPT partitions. cgdisk gdisk is an interactive text-mode tool for manipulating GPT partitions. gdisk fixparts repairs mis-formatted MBR based disk partitions. fixparts sgdisk is a partition manipulation program for GPT partitions similar to sfdisk. sgdisk
