What is the de facto disk partitioning utility on *unix systems?

Question

linux

What is the de facto disk partitioning utility on *unix systems? fdisk or cfdisk or parted? Gparted doesn't count!
I want to decide and choose one for myself.

Answer 1

I want to decide and choose one for myself.

And there is nothing to "determine" and "choose" there. ;-)
In Linux (and not only) there are 2 disk partitioning technologies: MBR and GPT.
All Linux utilities that work with MBR partitioning are equivalent ... "de facto" for MBR disks (but fdisk is more than enough here).
All Linux utilities that deal with GPT partitioning are equivalent... "de facto" to GPT disks (there's a good gdisk project here).
Talking about *unix in general is pretty pointless, because MINIX 3, for example, is also *unix ... but there partitions are also divided into subpartitions ... just like in early Solaris.

Answer 2

Depends on which OS you're talking about. In Solaris, the Linux equivalent of fdisk is the format utility. I myself have not yet encountered it, but in fact the logic of working with the disk should not differ much.

Answer 3

Why settle for just one option? It may happen that one option for some reason does not work, then owning several, the problem can be solved.
Follow the principle "There is more than one way to do it". As for me, it's better than no alternative.
