Disk Partitioning
Nowadays P2P like bittorrent are so popular, until others need to add a new harddisk to download all the stuff. A new harddisk is need to repartition before you can use it. To partitioning the new harddisk, you can use this:
sudo fdisk /dev/hd< x>
the < x > can be any of a, b, c … depend on which disk you want to partitioning. After the command is enter, a prompt will wait for you to enter the option :
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 24321.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
Command (m for help):
If you don’t know the command, just press ‘m’ to list all the command can be use in the shell.
