cfdisk - display or manipulate a disk partition table
Синопсис (Synopsis)
cfdisk [options] [device]
Описание (Description)
cfdisk is a curses-based program for partitioning any block
device. The default device is /dev/sda.
Note that cfdisk provides basic partitioning functionality with a
user-friendly interface. If you need advanced features, use
fdisk(8) instead.
All disk label changes will remain in memory only, and the disk
will be unmodified until you decide to write your changes. Be
careful before using the write command.
Since version 2.25 cfdisk supports MBR (DOS), GPT, SUN and SGI
disk labels, but no longer provides any functionality for CHS
(Cylinder-Head-Sector) addressing. CHS has never been important
for Linux, and this addressing concept does not make any sense
for new devices.
Since version 2.25 cfdisk also does not provide a 'print' command
any more. This functionality is provided by the utilities
partx(8) and lsblk(8) in a very comfortable and rich way.
If you want to remove an old partition table from a device, use
wipefs(8).
Параметры (Options)
-h, --help
Display help text and exit.
-L, --color[=when]
Colorize the output. The optional argument when can be auto,
never or always. If the when argument is omitted, it defaults
to auto. The colors can be disabled, for the current built-in
default see --help output. See also the COLORS section.
--lock[=mode]
Use exclusive BSD lock for device or file it operates. The
optional argument mode can be yes, no (or 1 and 0) or
nonblock. If the mode argument is omitted, it defaults to
"yes". This option overwrites environment variable
$LOCK_BLOCK_DEVICE. The default is not to use any lock at
all, but it's recommended to avoid collisions with udevd or
other tools.
-r, --read-only
Forced open in read-only mode.
-V, --version
Display version information and exit.
-z, --zero
Start with an in-memory zeroed partition table. This option
does not zero the partition table on the disk; rather, it
simply starts the program without reading the existing
partition table. This option allows you to create a new
partition table from scratch or from an sfdisk(8)-compatible
script.
Команды (Commands)
The commands for cfdisk can be entered by pressing the
corresponding key (pressing Enter after the command is not
necessary). Here is a list of the available commands:
b
Toggle the bootable flag of the current partition. This
allows you to select which primary partition is bootable on
the drive. This command may not be available for all
partition label types.
d
Delete the current partition. This will convert the current
partition into free space and merge it with any free space
immediately surrounding the current partition. A partition
already marked as free space or marked as unusable cannot be
deleted.
h
Show the help screen.
n
Create a new partition from free space. cfdisk then prompts
you for the size of the partition you want to create. The
default size is equal to the entire available free space at
the current position.
The size may be followed by a multiplicative suffix: KiB
(=1024), MiB (=1024*1024), and so on for GiB, TiB, PiB, EiB,
ZiB and YiB (the "iB" is optional, e.g., "K" has the same
meaning as "KiB").
q
Quit the program. This will exit the program without writing
any data to the disk.
r
Reduce or enlarge the current partition. cfdisk then prompts
you for the new size of the partition. The default size is
the current size. A partition marked as free space or marked
as unusable cannot be resized.
Note that reducing the size of a partition might destroy data
on that partition.
s
Sort the partitions in ascending start-sector order. When
deleting and adding partitions, it is likely that the
numbering of the partitions will no longer match their order
on the disk. This command restores that match.
t
Change the partition type. By default, new partitions are
created as Linux partitions.
u
Dump the current in-memory partition table to an
sfdisk-compatible script file.
The script files are compatible between cfdisk, fdisk(8)
sfdisk(8) and other libfdisk applications. For more details
see sfdisk(8).
It is also possible to load an sfdisk-script into cfdisk if
there is no partition table on the device or when you start
cfdisk with the --zero command-line option.
W
Write the partition table to disk (you must enter an
uppercase W). Since this might destroy data on the disk, you
must either confirm or deny the write by entering `yes' or
`no'. If you enter `yes', cfdisk will write the partition
table to disk and then tell the kernel to re-read the
partition table from the disk.
The re-reading of the partition table does not always work.
In such a case you need to inform the kernel about any new
partitions by using partprobe(8) or partx(8), or by rebooting
the system.
x
Toggle extra information about a partition.
Up Arrow, Down Arrow
Move the cursor to the previous or next partition. If there
are more partitions than can be displayed on a screen, you
can display the next (previous) set of partitions by moving
down (up) at the last (first) partition displayed on the
screen.
Left Arrow, Right Arrow
Select the preceding or the next menu item. Hitting Enter
will execute the currently selected item.
All commands can be entered with either uppercase or lowercase
letters (except for Write). When in a submenu or at a prompt, you
can hit the Esc key to return to the main menu.
Цвета (Colors)
Implicit coloring can be disabled by creating the empty file
/etc/terminal-colors.d/cfdisk.disable.
See terminal-colors.d(5) for more details about colorization
configuration.
cfdisk does not support color customization with a color-scheme
file.
