diskutil man page
Authored by: IslandDan on Dec 10, '03 01:14:54AM

There is now a man page for diskutil in Panther. One neat thing to do is to create a removable drive like a USB Flash drive with a Windows partition map that will work on both Windows and OS X with one DOS partition and one HFS+ partition.

Ex: diskutil partitionDisk '/dev/diskN' 2 MBRFormat MS-DOS DOS 20M HFS+ HFS 20M

where diskN is the correct drive (N is replaced with the correct number). Use the df command to fine the diskN for a volume.

Be _real_ careful!
