Talk:Cfdisk

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

not functionally equivalent; fdisk is more mature and reliable than cfdisk—Trevor Caira 14:44, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

Not according to the fdisk 2.12p man-page: "There are several *fdisk programs around. Each has its problems and strengths. Try them in the order cfdisk, fdisk, sfdisk. (Indeed, cfdisk is a beautiful program that has strict requirements on the partition tables it accepts, and produces high quality partition tables. Use it if you can. fdisk is a buggy program that does fuzzy things usually it happens to produce reasonable results. [...])"

Funny, due to incredible amount of bugs (misreading existing partitions, creating corrupt partitions etc) it has been removed from at least one linux distro (Redhat). I guess everyone has his own view of cfdisk ;-) --Xerces8 (talk) 12:27, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Here is the removal documented. If they readded it later, someone say so. --Xerces8 (talk) 12:36, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Who is the author of cfdisk? Is it Kevin E. Martin? -- Sy / ^(talk) 12:13, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
