+
+
+NAME
+     repartition - load a partition table
+
+SYNOPSIS
+     repartition device [partition-file]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+     Repartition uploads a new partition table for the partitions  of  device.
+     The  table  is obtained from the first sector of partition-file if given,
+     device otherwise.  Device may refer to  the  whole  drive  or  a  primary
+     partition,  depending  on  whether  you  want  to upload a partition or a
+     subpartition table.  The partitions will be truncated to fit  within  the
+     enclosing device like the disk driver does, unless the numbers are coming
+     from partition-file.
+
+EXAMPLES
+     repartition /dev/hd0
+     repartition /dev/hd4 /etc/hd4.table
+
+     Reload the partition table of  drive  0  setting  /dev/hd[1-4],  and  the
+     subpartition  table  of /dev/hd4 setting /dev/hd4[a-d] using a file.  The
+     latter may be useful if you need more than the 4 subpartitions  a  single
+     Minix partition gives you.
+
+DIAGNOSTICS
+     The new table is printed on standard output.
+
+FILES
+     /dev/hd[0-9]
+
+SEE ALSO
+     hd(4), part(8).
+
+BUGS
+     The disk must be in use for the changes to stick.  The partition table of
+     an idle disk will be reloaded on the first open.
