<p><b>New page</b></p><div>fdisk 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.<br />
<br />
Here is a sample OpenBSD fdisk where OpenBSD used exclusively on the disk.<br />
