Advertisements
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.
