Fdisk
From Hackepedia
Jump to navigationJump to searchfdisk allows you to manipulate slices (another word for partition) on a disk. PC hardware limits a disk to four physical slices and a number of logical slices. Most UBO fdisk utilities don't support logical slices but have their own disklabel to greatly increase the number of partitions from the fdisk's four.
Here is a sample OpenBSD fdisk where OpenBSD used exclusively on the disk.
