NAME

partx − telling the kernel about presence and numbering of on-disk partitions.

SYNOPSIS

partx [−a|−d|−l] [−−type TYPE] [−−nr M-N] [partition] disk

DESCRIPTION

Given a block device ( disk ) and a partition table type , try to parse the partition table, and list the contents. Optionally add or remove partitions.

This is not an fdisk - adding and removing partitions is not a change of the disk, but just telling the kernel about presence and numbering of on-disk partitions.

OPTIONS

−a

add specified partitions or read disk and add all partitions

−d

delete specified or all partitions

−l

list partitions. Note that the all numbers are in 512-byte sectors.

--type TYPE

Specify the partition type -- dos, bsd, solaris, unixware or gpt.

--nr M-N

Specify the range of partitions (e.g --nr 2-4).

SEE ALSO

AVAILABILITY

The partx command is part of the util-linux-ng package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux-ng/.
