.SH NAME
amiga-fdisk \- Amiga disk partitioning program
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B amiga-fdisk
[
.B \-l
]
[
.B \-v
]
.I device
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B amiga-fdisk
is a program to partition harddisks under Linux/m68k. It uses command line
parameters similar to those of the PC
.B fdisk
program, and operates on
the disk associated with \fIdevice\fR.
In interactive mode, it behaves similarly to the
.B fdisk
program.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-l
List partition tables of all disks. If this flag is given, interactive
mode isn't entered.
.TP
.B \-v
Show version of the program.
.SH BUGS
Many of the command line options known from
.B fdisk
have not been implemented yet.
.LP
Using
.B 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).
.LP
The whole stuff about interactive usage of
.B amiga-fdisk
in this manpage still has to be written.
