Will fdisk with its "x extra functionality (experts only)" command work?

Will fdisk with its "x extra functionality (experts only)" command work?

I have used fdisk with the "x extra functionality (experts only)" command to change the CHS values a couple of times in the distant past, and do not remember a disaster happening.

Does anyone here know whether that would be a suitable way of setting the drive geometry settings in the partition table, as an alternative to using the sfdisk method described in this article?
