I am working now more on handcrafting my SD cards for arm testing.
Gparted did not do a good job, allowing me to make parititions not on
'cylinder boundaries'. And the labels it created were not recognized
when I mounted the drive. I had to use the disk utility to fix the
labels. Anyway, to script it and to put this up on some wikis, I really
need to do this by command line.
So I have looked at both fdisk and parted. Neither are for 'simple'
command lines. Fdisk takes me back to my DOS days (wonder where MS got
it from?).
So first I want a command that will delete all partitions on /dev/sdb
then create a partition as ext3, then one as linux-swap, and finally
ext4. Of course, I understand how many MB I want each, but I am suppose
to (or so from the warnings that 'fdisk -l' provided) maintain boundaries.
thanks for any pointers to the best tool(s) for this. So far my search
foo has only gone to old fdisk pages.
