If you want to run GNU Parted on a machine without GNU/Linux installed,
218
215
or you want to modify a root or boot partition, use GParted Live:

In command line mode, this is followed by one or more commands. For
265
# parted /dev/sda mklabel gpt mkpart P1 ext3 1MiB 8MiB
262
# parted /dev/sda mklabel gpt mkpart P1 ext3 1MiB 8MiB
267
Options (like `--help') can only be specified on the command line.
264
Options (like '--help') can only be specified on the command line.
269
266
In interactive mode, commands are entered one at a time at a prompt,
270
267
and modify the disk immediately. For example:
272
269
(parted) mklabel gpt
273
(parted) mkpart P1 ext3 1MiB 8MiB
270
(parted) mkpart P1 ext3 1MiB 8MiB
275
272
Unambiguous abbreviations are allowed. For example, you can type "p"
276
273
instead of "print", and "u" instead of "units". Commands can be typed
282
279
decimals. The suffix selects the unit, which may be one of those
283
280
described in *note unit::, except CHS and compact. If no suffix is
284
281
given, then the default unit is assumed. Negative numbers count back
285
from the end of the disk, with "-1s" indicating the sector at the end
286
of the disk. Parted will compute sensible ranges for the locations you
287
specify (e.g. a range of +/- 500 MB when you specify the location in
282
from the end of the disk, with "-1s" indicating the sector at the end of
283
the disk. Parted will compute sensible ranges for the locations you
284
specify (e.g. a range of +/- 500 MB when you specify the location in

"G"). Use the sector unit "s" to specify exact locations. With
289

376
`optimal' or an abbreviation. When in script mode, if the

476
470
Creates a new partition, _without_ creating a new file system on
477
471
that partition. This is useful for creating partitions for file
478
systems (or LVM, etc.) that Parted doesn't support. You may

systems (or LVM, etc.) that Parted doesn't support. You may
479
473
specify a file system type, to set the appropriate partition code
480
474
in the partition table for the new partition. FS-TYPE is required
481
475
for data partitions (i.e., non-extended partitions). START and END
482
476
are the offset from the beginning of the disk, that is, the
483
477
"distance" from the start of the disk.
485
PART-TYPE is one of `primary', `extended' or `logical', and may be
486
specified only with `msdos' or `dvh' partition tables. A NAME
487
must be specified for a `gpt' partition table. Neither PART-TYPE
488
nor NAME may be used with a `sun' partition table.

481
be specified for a 'gpt' partition table. Neither PART-TYPE nor

490
484
FS-TYPE must be one of these supported file systems:
495
487
* hfs, hfs+, hfsx
494
For example, the following creates a logical partition that will
495
contain an ext2 file system. The partition will start at the
496
beginning of the disk, and end 692.1 megabytes into the disk.
507
498
(parted) mkpart logical 0.0 692.1
509
Create a logical partition that will contain an ext2 file system.
510
The partition will start at the beginning of the disk, and end
511
692.1 megabytes into the disk.
500
Now, we will show how to partition a low-end flash device
501
("low-end", as of 2011/2012). For such devices, you should use
502
4MiB-aligned partitions(1). This command creates a tiny
503
place-holder partition at the beginning, and then uses all
504
remaining space to create the partition you'll actually use:
506
$ parted -s /dev/sdX -- mklabel msdos \
507
mkpart primary fat32 64s 4MiB \
508
mkpart primary fat32 4MiB -1s
510
Note the use of '--', to prevent the following '-1s' last-sector
511
indicator from being interpreted as an invalid command-line option.
512
The above creates two empty partitions. The first is unaligned and
513
tiny, with length less than 4MiB. The second partition starts
514
precisely at the 4MiB mark and extends to the end of the device.
516
The next step is typically to create a file system in the second
519
$ mkfs.vfat /dev/sdX2
521
---------- Footnotes ----------
523
(1) Cheap flash drives will be with us for a long time to come, and,
524
for them, 1MiB alignment is not enough. Use at least 4MiB-aligned
525
partitions. For details, see Arnd Bergman's article,
526
<http://http://lwn.net/Articles/428584/> and its many comments.

Moves the END position of partition NUMBER. Note that this does

do this, you will need to use external tools, such as 'resize2fs'.

-- Command: set NUMBER FLAG STATE
668
703
Changes a flag on the partition with number NUMBER. A flag can be
669
704
either "on" or "off". Some or all of these flags will be
670
705
available, depending on what disk label you are using:
673
708
(GPT) - Enable this to record that the selected partition is a
674
709
GRUB BIOS partition.
677
712
(GPT) - this flag is used to tell special purpose software
678
713
that the GPT partition may be bootable.
681
716
(Mac, MS-DOS, PC98) - should be enabled if you want to boot
682
717
off the partition. The semantics vary between disk labels.
683
718
For MS-DOS disk labels, only one partition can be bootable.
685
720
be bootable. For PC98 disk labels, all ext2 partitions must
686
721
be bootable (this is enforced by Parted).
689
(MS-DOS) - this flag can be enabled to tell MS DOS, MS
690
Windows 9x and MS Windows ME based operating systems to use
724
(GPT) - This flag identifies partitions that contain Microsoft
725
filesystems (NTFS or FAT). It may optionally be set on Linux
726
filesystems to mimic the type of configuration created by
727
parted 3.0 and earlier, in which a separate Linux filesystem
728
type code was not available on GPT disks. This flag can only
729
be removed within parted by replacing it with a competing
730
flag, such as boot or msftres.
733
(GPT) - This flag identifies a "Microsoft Reserved" partition,
734
which is used by Windows on GPT disks. Note that this flag
735
should not normally be set on Windows filesystem partitions
736
(those that contain NTFS or FAT filesystems).
739
(MS-DOS, GPT) - this flag identifies an Intel Rapid Start
740
Technology partition.
743
(MS-DOS, GPT) - this flag identifies a UEFI System Partition.
744
On GPT it is an alias for boot.
747
(MS-DOS) - this flag can be enabled to tell MS DOS, MS Windows
748
9x and MS Windows ME based operating systems to use Linear
694
752
(Mac) - this flag should be enabled if the partition is the
695
753
root device to be used by Linux.
698
756
(Mac) - this flag should be enabled if the partition is the
699
757
swap device to be used by Linux.
702
760
(MS-DOS, PC98) - this flag can be enabled to hide partitions
703
761
from Microsoft operating systems.
706
764
(MS-DOS) - this flag can be enabled to tell linux the
707
765
partition is a software RAID partition.
710
768
(MS-DOS) - this flag can be enabled to tell linux the
711
769
partition is a physical volume.
714
772
(MS-DOS) - this flag can be enabled so that the partition can
715
773
be used by the Linux/PA-RISC boot loader, palo.
718
(MS-DOS) - this flag can be enabled so that the partition can
719
be used as a PReP boot partition on PowerPC PReP or IBM
776
(MS-DOS, GPT) - this flag can be enabled so that the partition
777
can be used as a PReP boot partition on PowerPC PReP or IBM
720
778
RS6K/CHRP hardware.
723
781
(MS-DOS) - Enable this to indicate that a partition can be
724

993
the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a way
994
requiring permission under copyright law.
940
996
A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the
941
997
Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
955
1011
The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose
956
titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in
957
the notice that says that the Document is released under this
958
License. If a section does not fit the above definition of
959
Secondary then it is not allowed to be designated as Invariant.
960
The Document may contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document
961
does not identify any Invariant Sections then there are none.
1012
titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the
1013
notice that says that the Document is released under this License.
1014
If a section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it
1015
is not allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may
1016
contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify
1017
any Invariant Sections then there are none.
963
1019
The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are
964
1020
listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice
969
1025
A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
970
1026
represented in a format whose specification is available to the
971
1027
general public, that is suitable for revising the document
972
straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images
973
composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some
974
widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to
975
text formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of
976
formats suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in an
977
otherwise Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of
978
markup, has been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent
979
modification by readers is not Transparent. An image format is
980
not Transparent if used for any substantial amount of text. A
981
copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".
1028
straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed

985
SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and
986
standard-conforming simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for
987
human modification. Examples of transparent image formats include
988
PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that
989
can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or
990
XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally
991
available, and the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF
992
produced by some word processors for output purposes only.

The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
995
1051
plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the
1042
1098
these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and
1043
1099
Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly
1044
1100
and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The
1045
front cover must present the full title with all words of the
1046
title equally prominent and visible. You may add other material
1047
on the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the
1048
covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and
1049
satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in
1101
front cover must present the full title with all words of the title
1102
equally prominent and visible. You may add other material on the
1103
covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the covers, as
1104
long as they preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these
1105
conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other respects.
1052
1107
If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
1053
1108

1112
If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document
1058
numbering more than 100, you must either include a
1059
machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or
1060
state in or with each Opaque copy a computer-network location from
1061
which the general network-using public has access to download
1062
using public-standard network protocols a complete Transparent
1063
copy of the Document, free of added material. If you use the
1064
latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you
1065
begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that
1066
this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated
1067
location until at least one year after the last time you
1068
distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or
1069
retailers) of that edition to the public.
