- .TH PARTITION 8
- .SH NAME
- partition - make a partition table
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .B partition
- .RB [ -mf ]
- .I device
- [fItypefP:]fIsizefP[fB+*fP] ...
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- .B Partition
- makes a partition table on
- .I device
- using the types and sizes given. It may be used in combination with
- .BR repartition (8)
- for automatic installation of Minix.
- .PP
- You may give up to four fItypefP:fIsizefP[fB+*fP] specifications
- for the partitions. You may also specify holes before, between, and after
- the partitions. A hole differs from a partition specification by not having
- a type.
- .PP
- The first hole is by default 1 sector to make space for the primary
- bootstrap and the partition table. The other holes are 0.
- .PP
- The
- .I type
- field is the type of the partitition in hexadecimal. The
- .I size
- field is the partition's size in sectors. The
- .B +
- or
- .B *
- may optionally be added to indicate that the partition must be expanded
- to contain any leftover space on the device or to mark the partition active.
- .PP
- Partitions are padded out to cylinder boundaries, except for the first one,
- it starts on track 1. Some operating systems care about this. Minix and
- MS-DOS do not.
- .SH OPTIONS
- .TP
- .B -m
- Minix only, no need to pad partitions. This is the default for subpartition
- tables.
- .TP
- .B -f
- Force making a partition table even if the device is too small.
- .SH EXAMPLE
- .B "partition /dev/hd0 01:16384 81:40000 81:2880* 06:20000+"
- .PP
- Partitions disk 0 into an 8 Mb DOS partition, 20 Mb Minix /usr, 1.44 Mb Minix
- / (active), and a DOS partition of at least 10 Mb at the end of the disk.
- (06:0+ would have been ok too, it's just a sanity check.)
- .SH "SEE ALSO"
- .BR hd (4),
- .BR part (8),
- .BR repartition (8).
