PARTX(8)                                                                                 PARTX(8)



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 ta-
       ble, 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

       --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
