[Cialug] Arch Linux problem: Need help - fdisk fubar'd

[gerard]

A number of years back when working with the 'Maemo' community, a memo 
was posted on the wiki.

When working with sd cards it was necessary "not to use fdisk", but to 
use sfdisk.

The wiki provided the reasons why.

You may still be able to access the wiki should you need the reason why 
fdisk does not work on SD cards (or may not be reliable.
