Παραθέτω το αρκετά διασκεδαστικό section BUGS του manual page του fdisk:

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 parti-
tion tables it accepts, and produces high quality partition tables.  Use
it  if  you can.  fdisk is a buggy program that does fuzzy things - usu-
ally it happens to produce reasonable results. Its single  advantage  is
that it has some support for BSD disk labels and other non-DOS partition
tables.  Avoid it if you can.  sfdisk is for hackers  only  -  the  user
interface is terrible, but it is more correct than fdisk and more power-
ful than both fdisk and cfdisk.  Moreover, it can  be  used  noninterac-
tively.)
