Synopsis: [patch] fdisk(8) manpage doesn't warn fdisk doesn't read disk

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: ru
State-Changed-When: Fri Oct 13 15:17:35 UTC 2006
State-Changed-Why: 
fdisk(8) does read the disk to read the slice table; it only
doesn't use the disk to determine certain parameters such as
the number of cylinders, heads, and sectors/track.  These
parameters don't change if you write to sector 0 of the disk.
