Aaron Lockhart:
@AKASH AK, which lab/exam is this, and which question? I’d like to take a look at it and see if there is something wrong.

In practice, normal partitions should be the same whether made with gdisk, fdisk, or cfdisk.

AKASH AK:
LFCS course - Chapter : “Storage Management”
1st lab - Manage partition and swap
Question 5 -
Need to create 3 primary partition 10M 15M and 21M I tried use cfdisk to create it
it’s not working

Aaron Lockhart:
@AKASH AK: You can use cfdiskfor this task. It’s expecting a dos partition type, so you have to select dos instead of gpt.
