Some differences between fdisk and parted












0















https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/104240/674 says






  1. fdisk will allow your partitions to lie out of order unless you
    specifically tell it to reorder them,




    How do you tell fdisk " to reorder them"? I can't find an option
    for fdisk for that.





  2. most other tools (and unless i'm
    very mistaken parted is one of them) will make assumptions that you
    want everything to be 'clean' once you are finished, even when you
    didn't expect to have some action performed.




    What do "want everything to be 'clean' once you are finished" and
    "didn't expect to have some action performed" mean?




Thanks.

          Histoire des bourses de valeurs

          Image
          L’ histoire des bourses de valeurs retrace les étapes de l'émergence d'espaces de valorisation des obligations, qui dominent ainsi jusqu'au milieu du XIX e  siècle. Auparavant, le financement des armements navals vénitiens et hollandais sous la forme d'actions reste une exception. Elles prennent leur essor au XVIII e  siècle sur un marché déjà mondialisé, soutenu par les banques centrales et le Trésor public. L'émergence de la presse écrite, qui publie des listes de cours, puis du télégraphe, qui les diffuse rapidement, permet aux entreprises de faire connaître leur activité et aux actions de prendre le relais vers le milieu du XIX e  siècle, le développement des chemins de fer, de l'extraction de matières premières et précieuses s'ajoutant à celui des banques et des canaux. La Bourse reste affaire de territoires et concessions. Jusqu'au XX e  siècle, les entreprises industrielles n'y prennent qu'une place minoritaire, avant d'y connaît...
