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
       distributed 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 parti-
       tions. 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 command 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 parti-
                     tion on the current 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", "dvh", "gpt", "loop", "mac", "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 "primary", "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"
