Synopsis: [patch] fdisk(8) manpage doesn't warn fdisk doesn't read disk State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: ru State-Changed-When: Fri Oct 13 15:17:35 UTC 2006 State-Changed-Why: fdisk(8) does read the disk to read the slice table; it only doesn't use the disk to determine certain parameters such as the number of cylinders, heads, and sectors/track. These parameters don't change if you write to sector 0 of the disk. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84849
