atari-fdisk8

Atari partition editor

Usage

atari-fdisk [-f] [-l] [-r] [-s] [-v] [-x] [-O file] [-I file] device

Overview

atari-fdisk is an editor for Atari partition tables. It has an interactive menu for most actions. It operates on the disk associated with device.

Options

-f

Force operation on disks from which partitions seem to be mounted. (This is generally no good idea!)

-l

List partition tables of all disks. If this flag is given, interactive mode isn't entered.

-r

Open the disk device in read-only mode. You can view the partition table then, but cannot write back a modified table to disk.

-s

Only print the size (in blocks) of the partition device. Note that device should be a single partition device (e.g. /dev/sda1), not a whole-disk device (e.g. /dev/sda), for this.

-v

Show version of the program.

-x

Enter expert mode immediately. Expert mode can also be switched on by a menu item.

-O file

Save the partition tables of device to a file file. This file can later be used to restore all the partition information with the -I option.

-I file

Read a partition table from file (that has been created with -O) and write it back to disk.
