My vote would be for parted instead of either of these. fdisk can be |
| 14 |
buggy to the point of being unusable on sparc where parted works with no |
| 15 |
problems in the same scenario. |

Granted it's got a funky syntax but it seems to do the right |
| 18 |
thing, and plus it's got resizing support (though I don't recommend that |
| 19 |
for the install guide). |
