REPARTITION(8) Minix Programmer's Manual REPARTITION(8)
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
