Re: [discuss] [Idea] Import the gpart utility of FreeBSD

[Christoph Binner via illumos-discuss]

I like gptfdisk for partitioning – it works on illumos, although only on gpt disk (+ converting to gpt). Frontends are gdisk, cgdisk an sgdisk for interactive partitioning (like parted), curses interface and scriptable partitioning respectively.

There are certain applications, and disk formatting utilities arguably fall into this camp, where the ideal path forward is not to make it user-friendly, but to move http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ <http://www.petertribble.co.uk/> - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/ <http://ptribble.blogspot.com/> *illumos <https://illumos.topicbox.com/latest>* / illumos-discuss / see discussions <https://illumos.topicbox.com/groups/discuss> + participants <https://illumos.topicbox.com/groups/discuss/members> + delivery options <https://illumos.topicbox.com/groups/discuss/subscription> Permalink <https://illumos.topicbox.com/groups/discuss/Td48bc38764831ebd-Mbd4b49c045b167299dead0d5>
