    33Linux distributions on ia64 uses a different file table format than on i386, called GPT instead of MBR. The fdisk command used by mindi/mondo to determine all aspects related to the disc hasn't been adapted yet to handle GPT. Only the parted command is able to do it.
    44
    5 So a perl script called parted2fdisk.pl was written that will take as input all the order that mindi/mondo pass to fdisk, translate them to be given to parted and print the result in fdisk format. So this is a filter allowing fdisk replacement. It's only used on ia64. On other archs, parted2fdisk is a link to fdisk.

    7 Thus mindi/mondorestore commands launched by root will pass all their call to parted2fdisk on ia64 instead of the real fdisk, and be able to support the GPT format. It will call fdisk and parted for its work.  (Note again that on ia32 parte2fdisk is in fact a link to fdisk to avoid any compatibility issue)

    99The install.sh script will setup everything correctly for you.

    11 Note that parted2fdisk.pl supports currently only the -l and -s options as well as the commands p,n,d,w,t,a,q

    1313On Itanium systems you won't generally find an installed isolinux.bin file which is required by mindi to create the bootable images. You'll generally have to take an i386 package for your distribution and install it on your itanium system so that you provide the required missing file.

    3232
    33 parted2fdisk behaves like the fdisk command, but dialog internally with parted in order to manipulate partition tables, which allow it to support GPT partition format as well as MBR, contrary to fdisk. It aims at providing compatible external interface with fdisk. Developed initialy for ia64 Linux, it is also useful now on x86 systems using GPT partition format (for large HDDs).
