Description
|
||
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
||
|
The gpt command lets users read, create, modify, or verify the GPT (GUID
|
||
|
Partition Table) partition layout.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Common arguments:
|
||
|
|
||
|
interface
|
||
|
interface for accessing the block device (mmc, sata, scsi, usb, ....)
|
||
|
|
||
|
dev
|
||
|
device number
|
||
|
|
||
|
partition string
|
||
|
Describes the GPT partition layout for a disk. The syntax is similar to
|
||
|
the one used by the :doc:`mbr command <mbr>` command. The string contains
|
||
|
one or more partition descriptors, each separated by a ";". Each descriptor
|
||
|
contains one or more fields, with each field separated by a ",". Fields are
|
||
|
either of the form "key=value" to set a specific value, or simple "flag" to
|
||
|
set a boolean flag
|
||
|
|
||
|
The first descriptor can optionally be used to describe parameters for the
|
||
|
whole disk with the following fields:
|
||
|
|
||
|
* uuid_disk=UUID - Set the UUID for the disk
|
||
|
|
||
|
Partition descriptors can have the following fields:
|
||
|
|
||
|
* name=<NAME> - The partition name, required
|
||
|
* start=<BYTES> - The partition start offset in bytes, required
|
||
|
* size=<BYTES> - The partition size in bytes or "-" to expand it to the whole free area
|
||
|
* bootable - Set the legacy bootable flag
|
||
|
* uuid=<UUID> - The partition UUID, optional if CONFIG_RANDOM_UUID=y is enabled
|
||
|
* type=<UUID> - The partition type GUID, requires CONFIG_PARTITION_TYPE_GUID=y
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
If 'uuid' is not specified, but CONFIG_RANDOM_UUID is enabled, a random UUID
|
||
|
will be generated for the partition
|
||
|
|
||
|
gpt enumerate
|
||
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
||
|
Sets the variable 'gpt_partition_list' to be a list of all the partition names
|
||
|
on the device.
|
||
|
|
||
|
gpt guid
|
||
|
~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
||
|
Report the GUID of a disk. If 'varname' is specified, the command will set the
|
||
|
variable to the GUID, otherwise it will be printed out.
|
||
|
|
||
|
gpt read
|
||
|
~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
||
|
Prints the current state of the GPT partition table. If 'varname' is specified,
|
||
|
the variable will be filled with a partition string in the same format as a
|
||
|
'<partition string>', suitable for passing to other 'gpt' commands. If the
|
||
|
argument is omitted, a human readable description is printed out.
|
||
|
CONFIG_CMD_GPT_RENAME=y is required.
|
||
|
|
||
|
gpt rename
|
||
|
~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
||
|
Renames all partitions named 'part' to be 'name'. CONFIG_CMD_GPT_RENAME=y is
|
||
|
required.
|
||
|
|
||
|
gpt repair
|
||
|
~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
||
|
Repairs the GPT partition tables if it they become corrupted.
|
||
|
|
||
|
gpt setenv
|
||
|
~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
||
|
The 'gpt setenv' command will set a series of environment variables with
|
||
|
information about the partition named '<partition name>'. The variables are:
|
||
|
|
||
|
gpt_partition_addr
|
||
|
the starting offset of the partition in blocks as a hexadecimal number
|
||
|
|
||
|
gpt_partition_size
|
||
|
the size of the partition in blocks as a hexadecimal number
|
||
|
|
||
|
gpt_partition_name
|
||
|
the name of the partition
|
||
|
|
||
|
gpt_partition_entry
|
||
|
the partition number in the table, e.g. 1, 2, 3, etc.
|
||
|
|
||
|
gpt swap
|
||
|
~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
||
|
Changes the names of all partitions that are named 'name1' to be 'name2', and
|
||
|
all partitions named 'name2' to be 'name1'. CONFIG_CMD_GPT_RENAME=y is
|
||
|
required.
|
||
|
|
||
|
gpt verify
|
||
|
~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
||
|
Sets return value $? to 0 (true) if the partition layout on the
|
||
|
specified disk matches the one in the provided partition string, and 1 (false)
|
||
|
if it does not match. If no partition string is specified, the command will
|
||
|
check if the disk is partitioned or not.
|
||
|
|
||
|
gpt write
|
||
|
~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Re)writes the partition table on the disk to match the provided
|
||
|
partition string. It returns 0 on success or 1 on failure.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Configuration
|
||
|
-------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
To use the 'gpt' command you must specify CONFIG_CMD_GPT=y. To enable 'gpt
|
||
|
read', 'gpt swap' and 'gpt rename', you must specify CONFIG_CMD_GPT_RENAME=y.
|
||
|
|
||
|
