YES! If you do: "bpsh 0 fdisk /dev/hda" set the first node the way
you want and then if you do "beofdisk -q" it will remember this
partition scheme in /etc/beowulf/fstab/hda:c:h:s (where c,h,s is ...)
Then doing a "beofdisk -w" to write that partition scheme to the
whole cluster.
Note the main prompt in fdisk flushes correctly, but some of the others
prompts can't be seen, so you'll have to remember the order of prompts
from memory. (I'll fix this ASAP.)
Hope this helps,
Rick Niles.
