I'm just pointing this out for others, since I use the 6.x ISOs as well, but it is nice sometimes to be able to boot the ISO into debug mode and have all the usual disk utilities there.

On the new ISO, fdisk and sfdisk are missing.... just saying! Was it necessary to remove them?
 
fdisk is on the ISO and available in debug mode. As for sfdisk, yes it's not packaged, but I don't believe it was included in the 6.x ISO either.

sfdisk and fdisk were both included in 6.x.

neither are included in 7.x, I am looking at it right now, proxmox-ve_7.0-1.iso from July
 
Hi, I just boot into ProxMox debug mode with 7.0-2 ISO, I want to clean my hard disks as old partitions caused trouble. But I found there is only fdisk command, not gdisk and wipefs commands, and fdisk command can not delete old GPT partitions of harddisk.

Hi,

ensure you exit the first level of the debug shell (e.g., with exit or CTRL+D) as the first level is only the very basic initramdisk, at the second level more of the actual installation environment is loaded and gdisk and sgdisk is both available there (we use it directly in the installer so we'd notice if not):
