that doesn't do what I expect:
partition> P
16 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg/sgs]
a: 1804768 32 4.2BSD 1024 8192 114 # (Cyl. 0*- 2399)
c: 2074848 32 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0*- 2759*)
d: 2074880 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 2759*)
partition> C
Automatically adjust partitions [no]: y
partition> b
Filesystem type [?] [unused]: swap
Start offset [0c, 0s, 0M]:
Partition size ('$' for all remaining) [0c, 0s, 0M]: $
b: 2074880 1804800 swap # (Cyl. 2400 - 5159*)
I want the newly created parition (b) to begin where the previous
partition (a) ends. Fdisk does that, at least David's improved version.
BTW, I don't understand what the "C" command is supposed to do.
Thanks Pavel
