       This  manual page was written by Timshel Knoll <timshel@debian.org>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but
       may be used by others).

parted                                          2021 September 28                                      PARTED(8)

[device]
              The block device to be used.  When none is given, parted will use the first block device it finds.

       [command[options]]
              Specifies the command to be executed.  If no command is  given,  parted  will  present  a  command
              prompt.  Possible commands are:

              help[command]
                     Print general help, or help on command if specified.

              align-checktypepartition
                     Check  if  partition satisfies the alignment constraint of type.  type must be "minimal" or
                     "optimal".

              mklabellabel-type
                     Create a new disklabel (partition table) of label-type.  label-type should be one of "aix",
                     "amiga", "bsd", "dvh", "gpt", "loop", "mac", "msdos", "pc98", or "sun".

              mkpart[part-typenamefs-type]startend
                     Create a new partition. part-type may be  specified  only  with  msdos  and  dvh  partition
                     tables,  it should be one of "primary", "logical", or "extended".  name is required for GPT
                     partition tables and fs-type is optional.  fs-type can be one of "btrfs",  "ext2",  "ext3",
                     "ext4", "fat16", "fat32", "hfs", "hfs+", "linux-swap", "ntfs", "reiserfs", "udf", or "xfs".

              namepartitionname
                     Set the name of partition to name. This option works only on Mac, PC98, and GPT disklabels.
                     The name can be placed in double quotes, if necessary.  And depending on the shell may need
                     to also be wrapped in single quotes so that the shell doesn't strip off the double quotes.

              printprint-type
                     Display  the  partition  table.   print-type  is optional, and can be one of devices, free,
                     list, or all.

              quit   Exit from parted.

              rescuestartend
                     Rescue a lost partition that was located somewhere between start and end.  If  a  partition
                     is found, parted will ask if you want to create an entry for it in the partition table.

              resizepartpartitionend
                     Change  the  end  position  of  partition.   Note  that this does not modify any filesystem
                     present in the partition.

              rmpartition
                     Delete partition.

              selectdevice
                     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 an LVM logical volume if
                     necessary.

              setpartitionflagstate
                     Change the state of the flag on partition to state.  Supported flags are:  "boot",  "root",
                     "swap",   "hidden",   "raid",   "lvm",  "lba",  "legacy_boot",  "irst",  "msftres",  "esp",
                     "chromeos_kernel",  "bls_boot",  "linux-home",  "no_automount",  "bios_grub",  and  "palo".
                     state should be either "on" or "off".

              unitunit
                     Set unit as the unit to use when displaying locations and sizes, and for interpreting those
                     given  by  the  user  when  not  suffixed  with  an  explicit unit.  unit can be one of "s"
                     (sectors), "B" (bytes), "kB", "MB", "KiB", "MiB", "GB", "GiB", "TB", "TiB", "%" (percentage
                     of device size),  "cyl"  (cylinders),  "chs"  (cylinders,  heads,  sectors),  or  "compact"
                     (megabytes for input, and a human-friendly form for output).

              togglepartitionflag
                     Toggle the state of flag on partition.

              typepartitionidoruuid
                     On  MS-DOS  set  the  type  aka. partition id of partition to id. The id is a value between
                     "0x01" and "0xff". On GPT the type-uuid of partition to uuid.

              disk_setflagstate
                     Change a flag on the disk to state. A flag can be either "on" or "off".   Some  or  all  of
                     these flags will be available, depending on what disk label you are using.  Supported flags
                     are: "pmbr_boot" on GPT to enable the boot flag on the GPT's protective MBR partition.

              disk_toggleflag
                     Toggle the state of the disk flag.

parted  is  a  program  to  manipulate  disk  partitions.   It supports multiple partition table formats,
       including MS-DOS and GPT.  It is useful for creating space for new operating systems,  reorganising  disk
       usage, and copying data to new hard disks.

       This manual page documents parted briefly.  Complete documentation is distributed with the package in GNU
       Info format.

-h,--help
              displays a help message

       -l,--list
              lists partition layout on all block devices

       -m,--machine
              displays machine parseable output

       -j,--json
              displays JSON output

       -s,--script
              never prompts for user intervention

       -f,--fix
              automatically answer "fix" to exceptions in script mode

       -v,--version
              displays the version

       -aalignment-type,--alignalignment-type
              Set alignment for newly created partitions, valid alignment types are:

              none   Use the minimum alignment allowed by the disk type.

              cylinder
                     Align partitions to cylinders.

              minimal
                     Use  minimum  alignment  as  given by the disk topology information. This and the opt value
                     will use layout information provided by the disk  to  align  the  logical  partition  table
                     addresses  to  actual physical blocks on the disks.  The min value is the minimum alignment
                     needed to align the  partition  properly  to  physical  blocks,  which  avoids  performance
                     degradation.

              optimal
                     Use  optimum alignment as given by the disk topology information. This aligns to a multiple
                     of the physical block size in a way that guarantees optimal performance.
