| 21 | -------------------------- | |
| a6c6662d | 22 | |
| d420a7f9 KZ |
23 | what: sfdisk --show-size |
| 24 | why: this does not belong to fdisk, use "blockdev --getsz" | |
| a6c6662d | 25 | |
| d420a7f9 | 26 | -------------------------- |
| 35ce145f KZ |
27 | |
| 28 | what: sfdisk --Linux | |
| 29 | why: unnecessary option, only Linux (non-DOS mode) is supported | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | -------------------------- | |
| 32 | ||
| d420a7f9 KZ |
33 | what: sfdisk --unit |
| 34 | why: unnecessary option, only 'S'ector unit is supported | |

| 37 | ||
| ba7f6ba5 SB |
38 | what: sfdisk --show-pt-geometry |
| 39 | why: equal to --show-geometry for a long time | |
| 40 | ||
| 41 | -------------------------- | |
| 42 | ||
| d420a7f9 KZ |
43 | what: "swapon --summary" output format |
| 44 | why: does not provide control on output data formatting. The recommended solution | |
| 45 | is to use --show=<columns> in all scripts. | |
| 46 | ||
| 47 | -------------------------- | |
| 48 | ||
| 4459245f KZ |
49 | What: mkfs |
| 50 | Why: use filesystem specific mkfs.<type>. | |
| 51 | ||
| dba96eed KZ |
52 | -------------------------- |
| 53 | ||
| 9564e46c KZ |
54 | What: fdisk -s <device> |
| 55 | Why: this does not belong to fdisk, use "blockdev --getsz" | |
| 56 | ||
| 57 | -------------------------- | |
| 58 | ||
| 24d741d8 KZ |
59 | What: 'udev' and 'list' blkid(8) output formats |
| 60 | Why: udevd links libblkid directly; the 'list' is unnecessary, use lsblk(8) | |
| 61 | ||
| 62 | -------------------------- | |
| 63 | ||
| 4c50b0b3 | 64 | What: line(1) command |
| 1626ce11 | 65 | Why: use the read(1) command |
| 4c50b0b3 KZ |
66 | |
| 67 | -------------------------- | |
| 68 | ||
| 956e5828 KZ |
69 | What: pg(1) command |
| 70 | Why: use less(1) or more(1) | |
| 71 | ||
| 72 | -------------------------- | |
| 73 | ||
| 74 | What: CHS stuff in fdisk (except SUN where are partitions addresses by cylinders only) | |
| 73afd3f8 | 75 | Why: use addressing by sectors, CHS does not work with modern disks, |
| 956e5828 KZ |
76 | confusing for users... |
| 77 | ||
| 78 | -------------------------- | |
| 79 | ||
| 4ac02d4d | 80 | What: losetup -s |
| 4ac02d4d KZ |
81 | Why: the option -s is in collision with the Loop-AES losetup dialect that is used |
| 82 | in some distributions. Use the long version (--show) only. | |
| 83 | ||
| 84 | -------------------------- | |
| 72a71454 | 85 | |
| ead259e3 KZ |

| 91 | /dev/loop0: []: (/home/fs-images/swap.img) | |
| 92 | /dev/loop1: []: (/home/fs-images/disk.img), offset 100 | |
| 93 | ||
| 94 | new format: | |
| 95 | ||
| 96 | # losetup | |
