#: debian-bookworm
msgid ""
"B<sfdisk> is a script-oriented tool for partitioning any block device. It "
"runs in interactive mode if executed on a terminal (stdin refers to a "
"terminal)."
msgstr ""

#. type: Plain text
#: debian-bookworm
msgid ""
"Since version 2.26 B<sfdisk> supports MBR (DOS), GPT, SUN and SGI disk "
"labels, but no longer provides any functionality for CHS (Cylinder-Head-"
"Sector) addressing. CHS has never been important for Linux, and this "
"addressing concept does not make any sense for new devices."
msgstr ""

#. type: Plain text
#: debian-bookworm
msgid ""
"B<sfdisk> protects the first disk sector when create a new disk label. The "
"option B<--wipe always> disables this protection. Note that B<fdisk>(8) and "
"B<cfdisk>(8) completely erase this area by default."

msgid ""
"B<sfdisk> (since version 2.26) B<aligns the start and end of partitions> to "
"block-device I/O limits when relative sizes are specified, when the default "
"values are used or when multiplicative suffixes (e.g., MiB) are used for "
"sizes. It is possible that partition size will be optimized (reduced or "
"enlarged) due to alignment if the start offset is specified exactly in "
"sectors and partition size relative or by multiplicative suffixes."
msgstr ""

#. type: Plain text
#: debian-bookworm
msgid ""
"The recommended way is not to specify start offsets at all and specify "
"partition size in MiB, GiB (or so). In this case B<sfdisk> aligns all "
"partitions to block-device I/O limits (or when I/O limits are too small then "
"to megabyte boundary to keep disk layout portable). If this default "
"behaviour is unwanted (usually for very small partitions) then specify "
"offsets and sizes in sectors. In this case B<sfdisk> entirely follows "
"specified numbers without any optimization."
