Sorry - - - meant
gdisk
then ???????
Looking at:
root@debianbase:/# gdisk /dev/md0
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.0
Partition table scan:
MBR: protective
BSD: not present
APM: not present
GPT: present
Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT.
Command (? for help): r
Recovery/transformation command (? for help): ?
b use backup GPT header (rebuilding main)
c load backup partition table from disk (rebuilding main)
d use main GPT header (rebuilding backup)
e load main partition table from disk (rebuilding backup)
f load MBR and build fresh GPT from it
g convert GPT into MBR and exit
h make hybrid MBR
i show detailed information on a partition
l load partition data from a backup file
m return to main menu
o print protective MBR data
p print the partition table
q quit without saving changes
t transform BSD disklabel partition
v verify disk
w write table to disk and exit
x extra functionality (experts only)
? print this menu
Recovery/transformation command (? for help): q

doesn't really give me anything that seems even close to:
create a partition starting at sector 2048
the man page really isn't clearer - - -
n Create a new partition. This command is modelled after the
equivalent fdisk option, although some differences exist. You enter a
partition number, starting sector, and an ending sector. Both start
and end sectors
can be specified in absolute terms as sector numbers or
as positions measured in kibibytes (K), mebibytes (M), gibibytes (G),
tebibytes (T), or pebibytes (P); for instance, 40M specifies a
position 40MiB from the
start of the disk. You can specify locations relative
to the start or end of the specified default range by preceding the
number by a '+' or '-' symbol, as in +2G to specify a point 2GiB after
the default start
sector, or -200M to specify a point 200MiB before the
last available sector. Pressing the Enter key with no input specifies
the default value, which is the start of the largest available block
for the start sec‐
tor and the end of the same block for the end sector.
so I just do ?
gdisk
n 1 2048 1923518592
Will that change any of the data on the sectors?
Please - - - is there any way of getting specific commands?
