Instead of using fdisk , use parted .
The parted utility is included on the Linux (SUSE LINUX and Red Hat) base
system. As shown in Example 4-6, the parted output does not show the same
information in the partition table, but recognizes the real partitions on the system.
The parted utility can identify every partition on the partition table.
Example 4-6 GNU parted output (some lines removed)
[root@x455 root]# parted
GNU Parted 1.6.3
