Subject: [suse-sparc] Disk partitioning tools

    Under SuSE/Sparc what tools are there for automatic disk partitioning?

    I'm porting a tool from Solaris, but there's two commands I'm missing:
    prtvtoc and fmthard.

    'fdisk -l' gives an output that I can use, but what's a similar command to
    fmthard? I did and build download sfdisk, but it seems to be expecting a
    msdos signature, so doesn't work with the disks I do have.

    I'm working on an Ultra-10, so I'm using IDE drives, but will eventually
    be moving (hopefully) to SCSI drives (but I hope that wouldn't matter).

    I'm running SuSE 7.2, kernel 2.4.2 (with the 2.2 kernel available if
    that's required).

    So, what's a good equivalent for fmthard for linux?
