   partx    ( 8 )

Имя (Name)

partx - tell the kernel about the presence and numbering of
       on-disk partitions

---

Синопсис (Synopsis)

partx [-a|-d|-P|-r|-s|-u] [-t type] [-n M:_N_] [-] disk

       partx [-a|-d|-P|-r|-s|-u] [-t type] partition [disk]

Описание (Description)

Given a device or disk-image, partx tries to parse the partition
       table and list its contents. It can also tell the kernel to add
       or remove partitions from its bookkeeping.

       The disk argument is optional when a 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
       "-" (hyphen-minus). For example:

          partx --show - /dev/sda3

       This will see sda3 as a whole-disk rather than as a partition.

       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.

Параметры (Options)

-a, --add
           Add the specified partitions, or read the disk and add all
           partitions.

       -b, --bytes
           Print the SIZE column in bytes rather than in human-readable
           format.

       -d, --delete
           Delete the specified partitions or all partitions. It is not
           error to remove non-existing partitions, so this option is
           possible to use together with large --nr ranges without care
           about the current partitions set on the device.

       -g, --noheadings
           Do not print a header line with --show or --raw.

       -l, --list
           List the partitions. Note that all numbers are in 512-byte
           sectors. This output format is DEPRECATED in favour of
           --show. Do not use it in newly written scripts.

       -n, --nr M:_N_
           Specify the range of partitions. For backward compatibility
           also the format M-_N_ is supported. The range may contain
           negative numbers, for example --nr -1:-1 means the last
           partition, and --nr -2:-1 means the last two partitions.
           Supported range specifications are:

           M
               Specifies just one partition (e.g. --nr 3).

           M:
               Specifies the lower limit only (e.g. --nr 2:).

           :N
               Specifies the upper limit only (e.g. --nr :4).

           M:_N_
               Specifies the lower and upper limits (e.g. --nr 2:4).

       -o, --output list
           Define the output columns to use for --show, --pairs and
           --raw output. If no output arrangement is specified, then a
           default set is used. Use --help to get list of all supported
           columns. This option cannot be combined with the --add,
           --delete, --update or --list options.

       --output-all
           Output all available columns.

       -P, --pairs
           List the partitions using the KEY="value" format.

       -r, --raw
           List the partitions using the raw output format.

       -s, --show
           List the partitions. The output columns can be selected and
           rearranged with the --output option. All numbers (except
           SIZE) are in 512-byte sectors.

       -t, --type type
           Specify the partition table type.

       --list-types
           List supported partition types and exit.

       -u, --update
           Update the specified partitions.

       -S, --sector-size size
           Overwrite default sector size.

       -v, --verbose
           Verbose mode.

       -V, --version
           Display version information and exit.

       -h, --help
           Display help text and exit.

Окружение (Environment)

LIBBLKID_DEBUG=all
           enables libblkid debug output.

Примеры (Examples)

partx --show /dev/sdb3, partx --show --nr 3 /dev/sdb, partx
       --show /dev/sdb3 /dev/sdb
           All three commands list partition 3 of /dev/sdb.

       partx --show - /dev/sdb3
           Lists all subpartitions on /dev/sdb3 (the device is used as
           whole-disk).

       partx -o START -g --nr 5 /dev/sdb
           Prints the start sector of partition 5 on /dev/sdb without
           header.

       partx -o SECTORS,SIZE /dev/sda5 /dev/sda
           Lists the length in sectors and human-readable size of
           partition 5 on /dev/sda.

       partx --add --nr 3:5 /dev/sdd
           Adds all available partitions from 3 to 5 (inclusive) on
           /dev/sdd.

       partx -d --nr :-1 /dev/sdd
           Removes the last partition on /dev/sdd.
