Thanks Markus,
But I see this:

DESCRIPTION
       sfdisk  has  four (main) uses: list the size of a partition,
list the partitions on a device, check the partitions on a device, and
- very dangerous - repartition a
       device.

       sfdisk doesn't understand GUID Partition Table (GPT) and it is
not designed for large partitions. In particular case use more
advanced GNU parted(8).

Is it ok?
