It -optionally adds or removes partitions. -.PP -The -.I disk -argument is optional when a -.I partition -argument is provided. To force scanning a partition as if it were a -whole disk (for example to list nested subpartitions), use the argument -"-". For example: -.RS 7 -.TP -partx \-\-show \- /dev/sda3 -.RE -.PP -This will see sda3 as a whole-disk rather than a partition. -.PP -The -.B partx is not an fdisk program -\-\- adding and removing partitions does not change the disk, it just -tells the kernel about the presence and numbering of on-disk -partitions. -.SH OPTIONS -.IP "\fB\-a\fR, \fB\-\-add\fP" -Add the specified partitions, or read the disk and add all partitions. -.IP "\fB\-b\fR, \fB\-\-bytes\fP" -Print the SIZE column in bytes rather than in human-readable format. -.IP "\fB\-d\fR, \fB\-\-delete\fP" -Delete the specified partitions or all partitions. -.IP "\fB\-g\fR, \fB\-\-noheadings\fP" -Do not print a header line. -.IP "\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fP" -Print a help text and exit. -.IP "\fB\-l\fR, \fB\-\-list\fP" -List the partitions. Note that all numbers are in 512-byte sectors. -This output format is DEPRECATED in favour of -.BR \-\-show . -Do not use it in newly written scripts. -.IP "\fB\-o\fR, \fB\-\-output \fIlist\fP" -Define the output columns to use for -.B \-\-show -and -.B \-\-raw -output. If no output arrangement is specified, then a default set is -used. Use -.B \-\-help -to get -.I list -of all supported columns. This option cannot be combined with -.BR \-\-add , -.B \-\-delete -or -.B \-\-list -options. -.IP "\fB\-P\fR, \fB\-\-pairs\fP" -Output using key="value" format. -.IP "\fB\-n\fR, \fB\-\-nr \fIM:N\fP" -Specify the range of partitions. For backward compatibility also the -format -.I M-N -is supported. The range may contain negative numbers, for example -.BI \-\-nr \ :\-1 -means the last partition, and -.BI \-\-nr \ \-2:\-1 -means the last two partitions. Supported range specifications are: -.RS 14 -.TP -.I M -Specifies just one partition (e.g. \fB\-\-nr\fR -.IR 3 ). -.TP -.I M: -Specifies lower limit only (e.g. \fB\-\-nr\fR -.IR 2: ). -.TP -.I :N -Specifies upper limit only (e.g. \fB\-\-nr\fR -.IR :4 ). -.TP -.IR M:N \ or -.TQ -.I M-N -Specifies lower and upper limits (e.g. \fB--nr\fR -.IR 2:4 ). -.RE -.IP "\fB\-r\fR, \fB\-\-raw\fP" -Use the raw output format. -.IP "\fB\-s\fR, \fB\-\-show\fP" -List the partitions. All numbers (except SIZE) are in 512-byte -sectors. The output columns can be rearranged with the -.B \-\-output -option. -.IP "\fB\-t\fR, \fB\-\-type \fItype\fP" -Specify the partition table type -.IR aix , -.IR bsd , -.IR dos , -.IR gpt , -.IR mac , -.IR minix , -.IR sgi , -.IR solaris_x86 , -.IR sun , -.I ultrix -or -.IR unixware . -.IP "\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-verbose\fP" -Verbose mode. -.SH EXAMPLES -.TP -partx \-\-show /dev/sdb3 -.TQ -partx \-\-show --nr 3 /dev/sdb -.TQ -partx \-\-show /dev/sdb3 /dev/sdb -All three commands list partition 3 of /dev/sdb. -.TP -partx \-\-show \- /dev/sdb3 -Lists all subpartitions on /dev/sdb3 (the device is used as -whole-disk). -.TP -partx \-o START -g --nr 5 /dev/sdb -Prints the start sector of partition 5 on /dev/sdb without header. -.TP -partx \-o SECTORS,SIZE /dev/sda5 /dev/sda -Lists the length in sectors and human-readable size of partition 5 on -/dev/sda. -.TP -partx \-\-add --nr 3:5 /dev/sdd -Adds all available partitions from 3 to 5 (inclusive) on /dev/sdd. -.TP -partx \-d --nr :-1 /dev/sdd -Removes the last partition on /dev/sdd. -.SH SEE ALSO -.BR addpart (8), -.BR delpart (8), -.BR fdisk (8), -.BR parted (8), -.BR partprobe (8) -.SH AUTHORS -.MT dave@gnu.org -Davidlohr Bueso -.ME -.br -.MT kzak@redhat.com -Karel Zak -.ME -.PP -The original version was written by -.MT aeb@cwi.nl -Andries E.
