-l 后边不跟设备名会直接列出系统中所有的磁盘设备以及分区表，加上设备名会列出该设备的分区表。

可以看到一块儿未被分区的磁盘 /dev/sdb 的信息。
fdisk 如果不加 -l 则进入另一个模式，在该模式下，可以对磁盘进行分区操作。

当分完三个主分区后，第四个扩展分区要占用全部剩余空间的原因是：分完扩展分区后，再划分新的分区是在已经划分的扩展分区上去划分的。其中/dev/sdb4为扩展分区，它是不可以被格式化的，就相当于一个空壳子，能使用的为/dev/sdb5，这个分区叫做逻辑分区，是/dev/sdb4的子分区。

输入d会提示要删除那个分区，可以选择1-5，其中1-3为主分区。4是扩展分区，5是逻辑分区。如果输入5，则直接把逻辑分区sdb5删除掉，如果输入4，则会把整个扩展分区sdb4干掉，也包含扩展分区里面的逻辑分区。在刚才的界面中直接Ctrl+C退出来，这样刚刚的分区全部都取消了。
