PARTED(8)                               GNU Parted Manual                               PARTED(8)



NAME
       GNU Parted - a partition manipulation program

SYNOPSIS
       parted [options] [device [command [options...]...]]

DESCRIPTION
       This  manual  page  documents  briefly the parted command.  Complete documentation is dis-
       tributed with the package in GNU Info format; see below.

       parted is a disk partitioning and partition resizing program.  It allows  you  to  create,
       destroy,  resize,  move and copy ext2, ext3, linux-swap, FAT and FAT32 partitions. This is
       useful for creating space for new operating systems, reorganising disk usage, and  copying
       data to new hard disks.

OPTIONS
       -h, --help
              displays a help message.

       -i, --interactive
              where necessary, prompts for user intervention.

       -s, --script
              never prompts for user intervention.

       -v, --version
              displays the version.

COMMANDS
       [device]
              The block device to partition.

       [command [options]]
              Specifies  a command to parted. If no command is given, parted will give you a com-
              mand prompt. Commands are:

              check partition
                     does a simple check on partition.

              cp [source-device] source dest
                     copies the source partition’s filesystem on source-device  (or  the  current
                     device  if  no other device was specified) to the dest partition on the cur-
                     rent device.

              help [command]
                     prints general help, or help on command if specified.

              mkfs partition fs-type
                     make a filesystem fs-type on partition. fs-type can be one of "FAT",  "ext2"
                     or "linux-swap".

              mklabel label-type
                     Creates  a new disklabel (partition table) of label-type.  label-type should
                     be one of "bsd", "gpt", "loop", "mac", "mips", "msdos", "pc98" or "sun".

              mkpart part-type [fs-type] start end
                     make a part-type partition with filesystem fs-type (if specified), beginning
                     at start and ending at end (in megabytes).  part-type should be one of "pri-
                     mary", "logical" or "extended"

              mkpartfs part-type fs-type start end
                     make a part-type partition with filesystem fs-type beginning  at  start  and
                     ending at end (in megabytes)

              move partition start end
                     move  partition  to  start at start and end at end. Note: move never changes
                     the minor number

              name partition name
                     set the name of partition to name. This option works only on  Mac  and  PC98
                     disklabels. The name can be placed in quotes, if necessary

              print  displays the partition table

              quit   exits parted

              resize partition start end
                     resize  the  filesystem  on  partition  to  start  at  start  and end at end
                     megabytes

              rm partition
                     deletes partition

              select device
                     choose device as the current device to edit.  device  should  usually  be  a
                     Linux hard disk device, but it can be a partition, software raid device or a
                     LVM logical volume if that is necessary

              set partition flag state
                     change the state of the flag on partition to  state.  Flags  supported  are:
                     "boot",  "root",  "swap",  "hidden", "raid", "lvm", "lba" and "palo".  state
                     should be either "on" or "off"
