how to create a partition

Re: how to create a partition
: I have a hot-swappable flash-disk in our devices. Does anybody knows,
: how to create/modify a partition of such a device? (I found no
: fdisk-command line parameters to do that).
how is hotswappable different to other types?
Have you actually run fdisk and attempted to create a partition?
Was there a problem?

The CFDISK will have a device file name e.g. /dev/sda
# fdisk /dev/sda
Then follow the menu system to create/modify/delete partitions
