<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>

|
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
|
|
<STRONG>Repartition</STRONG> uploads a new partition table for the partitions of <EM>device</EM>.
|
|
The table is obtained from the first sector of <EM>partition</EM>-<EM>file</EM> if given,
|
|
<EM>device</EM> otherwise. <EM>Device</EM> 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 <EM>partition</EM>-<EM>file</EM>.

<H2>EXAMPLES</H2><PRE>
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
<H2>DIAGNOSTICS</H2><PRE>
|
|
The new table is printed on standard output.

<H2>BUGS</H2><PRE>
|
|
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.
