More from man fdisk:
Usually all goes well by default, and there are no problems if Linux is the only system on the disk. However, if the
disk has to be shared with other operating systems, it is often a good idea to let an fdisk from another operating sys-
tem make at least one partition. When Linux boots it looks at the partition table, and tries to deduce what (fake)
geometry is required for good cooperation with other systems
