The space reserved +is one track for the replicated copies of the table and +sufficient tracks to hold a pool of 126 sectors to which bad sectors +are mapped. For more information, see +.Xr bad144 8 . +The +.Fl s +option is intended for other controllers which reserve some space at the end +of the disk for bad-sector replacements or other control areas, +even if not a multiple of cylinders. +.Pp +The disk partition sizes are based on the total amount of +space on the disk as given in the table below (all values +are supplied in units of sectors). The +.Ql c +partition +is, by convention, used to access the entire physical disk. +The device driver tables include +the space reserved for the bad sector forwarding table in the +.Ql c +partition; +those used in the disktab and default formats exclude reserved tracks. +In normal operation, either the +.Ql g +partition is used, or the +.Ql d , +.Ql e , +and +.Ql f +partitions are used. The +.Ql g +and +.Ql f +partitions +are variable-sized, occupying whatever space remains after allocation +of the fixed sized partitions. +If the disk is smaller than 20 Megabytes, then +.Nm diskpart +aborts with the message +.Dq Li disk too small, calculate by hand . +.Bl -column Partition 20-60\ MB 61-205\ MB 206-355\ MB 356+\ MB +Partition 20-60 MB 61-205 MB 206-355 MB 356+ MB +a 15884 15884 15884 15884 +b 10032 33440 33440 66880 +d 15884 15884 15884 15884 +e unused 55936 55936 307200 +h unused unused 291346 291346 +.El +.Pp +If an unknown disk type is specified, +.Nm diskpart +will prompt for the required disk geometry information. +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr disktab 5 , +.Xr bad144 8 +.Sh BUGS +Most default partition sizes are based on historical artifacts +(like the RP06), and may result in unsatisfactory layouts. +.Pp +When using the +.Fl d +flag, alternate disk names are not included +in the output. +.Sh HISTORY +The +.Nm +command appeared in +.Bx 4.2 . |
