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. &lfs101_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 Required Optional User Notes: The gptfdisk package comes with a rudimentary Makefile. First we update it to provide a simple build and install interface and fix the location of a header file. Install gptfdisk by running the following commands: patch -Np1 -i ../gptfdisk-&gptfdisk-version;-convenience-1.patch && sed -i 's|ncursesw/||' gptcurses.cc && make To test the results, issue: make test. Now, as the root user: make install patch -Np1 ...: This patch modifies the Makefile file so that it provides an install target. Installed Programs cgdisk, gdisk, fixparts, and sgdisk Short Descriptions cgdisk is an ncurses-based 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
