- .SH NAME
- repartition - load a partition table
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- fBrepartitionfP fIdevicefP [fIpartition-filefP]
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- .B Repartition
- uploads a new partition table for the partitions of
- .IR device .
- The table is obtained from the first sector of
- .I partition-file
- if given,
- .I device
- otherwise.
- .I 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
- .IR partition-file .
- .SH EXAMPLES
- repartition /dev/hd0
- .br
- repartition /dev/hd4 /etc/hd4.table
- .PP
- 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.
- .SH DIAGNOSTICS
- The new table is printed on standard output.
- .SH FILES
- /dev/hd[0-9]
- .SH "SEE ALSO"
- .BR hd (4),
- .BR part (8).
- .SH 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.
