cfdisk only does 512 byte alignment, if you want a DOS partition table on |
| 11 |
a large drive, you need to use fdisk or {,q,qt}parted. cgdisk is a |
| 12 |
completely separate tool as it works with GPT partition tables. There is |
| 13 |
anever a choice between cfdisk and cgdisk because only one of them will |
| 14 |
work with your partition table. |

To the optimist, the glass is half full. To the pessimist, the glass is |
| 21 |
half empty. To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be. |
