Description
The part command is used to manage disk partition related commands.
The ‘part uuid’ command prints or sets an environment variable to partition UUID
- interface
interface for accessing the block device (mmc, sata, scsi, usb, ….)
- dev
device number
- part
partition number
- varname
an optional environment variable to store the current partition UUID value into.
The ‘part list’ command prints or sets an environment variable to the list of partitions
- interface
interface for accessing the block device (mmc, sata, scsi, usb, ….)
- dev
device number
- part
partition number
- flags
- -bootable
lists only bootable partitions
- varname
an optional environment variable to store the list of partitions value into.
The ‘part start’ commnad sets an environment variable to the start of the partition (in blocks), part can be either partition number or partition name.
- interface
interface for accessing the block device (mmc, sata, scsi, usb, ….)
- dev
device number
- part
partition number
- varname
a variable to store the current start of the partition value into.
The ‘part size’ command sets an environment variable to the size of the partition (in blocks), part can be either partition number or partition name.
- interface
interface for accessing the block device (mmc, sata, scsi, usb, ….)
- dev
device number
- part
partition number
- varname
a variable to store the current size of the partition value into.
The ‘part number’ command sets an environment variable to the partition number using the partition name, part must be specified as partition name.
- interface
interface for accessing the block device (mmc, sata, scsi, usb, ….)
- dev
device number
- part
partition number
- varname
a variable to store the current partition number value into
The ‘part set’ command sets the type of a partition. This is useful when autodetection fails or does not do the correct thing:
- interface
interface for accessing the block device (mmc, sata, scsi, usb, ….)
- dev
device number
- part
partition number
- type
partition type to use (see ‘part types’) to check available types
The ‘part type’ command prints or sets an environment variable to the partition type UUID.
- interface
interface for accessing the block device (mmc, sata, scsi, usb, ….)
- dev
device number
- part
partition number
- varname
a variable to store the current partition type UUID value into
The ‘part types’ command list supported partition table types.
