''fdisk''' is the system command used in FreeBSD and other unixlike OSes to handle partitioning hard drives. (See also [[disklabel]] for editing [[disk slices]].) Along with [[disklabel]], this ''fdisk'' provides roughly analogous functionality to the same-named Windows command ''fdisk''.

See also [[sysinstall]] for accomplishing all hard drive partitioning, slicing, and formatting tasks inside a convenient text-mode GUI.

-It is worth noting that ''fdisk'', and for that matter FreeBSD in general, does not allow editing of the partition tables on any drives that have a partition or slice mounted.
+It is worth noting that ''fdisk'', and for that matter FreeBSD in general, does not allow editing of the partition tables on any drives that have a partition or slice mounted. One should boot from a rescue disk when editing the partition table on the hard drive containing your root (/) [[mount point]].
