Hello list, I'm playing around with fdisk on a vmware virtual machine with 5.0 i386. Despite what's in FAQ14.4, I found I can still create disklabel partitions without a fdisk partition (no fdisk -i $disk) on a blank disk.
I'm confused. So my question is: 1. Is fdisk partition a must for a NON-SYSTEM disk on i386? 2. what is the disadvantage of using a disklabel partition without fdisk partition in above mentioned scenario? thanks. - Alan
