I'm OK for this.

Does anybody know anything about GPT, GUID and parted? I'm used to using MDR and fdisk, but you can't use them on really big drives.

I can't type.

I meant MBR, as in the Master Boot Record that's been on the first sector of a hard drive since forever, and has now been upgraded to a GUID Partition Table, aka GPT, which 'fdisk' recoils in horror from. People keep saying I should be using 'parted' instead.

Cheers,
Robin

Have a look at gdisk it’s very similar to fdisk but works with GPT

Hey thanks, that looks just right! I especially like this bit in the man page:

"Like the original fdisk program, gdisk does not modify disk structures until you explicitly write them to disk, so if you make a mistake, you can exit from the program with the ’q’ option to leave your partitions unmodified."

I never got the thinking behind parted's 'sudden death' formatting style.

Hi all,

I've been able to book the upstairs room at the Old Custom House for next
Thursday (31st) from 7.30, so we're back to normal.

It's a special meet as the LUG turns 11 years old! So please come along to
toast its birthday before it becomes a stroppy teenager in a couple of
years :-)

Hi all,

A reminder that the next Chester LUG meet is tomorrow evening from 7.30 at
the Olde Custom House on Watergate Street. We have the upstairs room booked
and the LUG will be turning 11 :-)

Food was available there last month, so hopefully it will be again
tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

For anyone coming for the first time tonight, the meet is upstairs at the
Old Custom House. The bar staff will direct you through a fairly anonymous
looking door and you will feel like you're walking into the kitchen :-)

If you turn around you'll see the stairs and our room will be straight
ahead.

We often meet in the bar around 7.30 to get drinks and then head up.

See you later.
