Operation Command:

Check MINOR # perform a simple check on the file system Cp [FROM-DEVICE] FROM-minor to-MINOR # copy the file system TO another partition Help [COMMAND] # print common help information or COMMAND information Mklabel label type # create a new disk label (partition table) Mkfs MINOR file system type # create a file system of the "file system type" in MINOR Mkpart partition type [file system type] Start Point termination point # create a partition Mkpartfs partition type start point of the file system type # create a partition with a file system Move MINOR start point termination point # move the shard numbered MINOR Name MINOR name # name the partition numbered MINOR as "name" Print [MINOR] # print the partition table or partition Quit # exit the program Rescue start point ending point # Save the lost partition near "Start Point" and "End Point" Resize MINOR start point ending point # change the size of the file system in the partition numbered MINOR Rm MINOR # delete a partition numbered MINOR. Select device # select the device to edit Set MINOR flag status # indicates the shard Id changed to MINOR.

Operation instance:
(Parted) indicates the command entered in parted. Other information is automatically printed.

1. First, select the hard disk to be partitioned like fdisk, where/dev/hdd: Root@10.10.90.97 ~ # Parted/dev/hdd GNU Parted 1.8.1 Using/dev/hdd Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands. 2. If/dev/hdd is selected as the disk for operation, create a partition table (in parted, run the help command to print the help information ): (Parted) mklabel Warning: The existing disk label on/dev/hdd will be destroyed and all data on this disk will be lost. Do you want to continue? Yes/No? (Warn the user that the data on the disk will be destroyed and ask whether to continue. Here is the new disk. Enter yes and press Enter.) yes New disk label type? [Msdos]? (The default format is msdos. to partition a disk larger than 2 TB correctly, use the partition table in gpt mode and press Enter.) gpt 3. After creating the partition table, you can perform the partitioning operation. Run the mkpart command and enter the partition name, file system, and start and end locations of the partition respectively. (Parted) mkpart Partition name? []? Dp1 File system type? [Ext2]? Ext3 Start? 0 End? 500 GB 4. Run the print command to print the partition information after partitioning. The following is an example of print. (Parted) print Model: vbox harddisk (ide) Disk/dev/hdd: 2199 GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: gpt Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 17.4kB 500 GB 500 GB dp1 5. If the partition is incorrect, run the rm command to delete the partition. For example, we want to delete the partition and print the deleted result. (Parted) rm 1 # rm is followed by the Partition Number (Parted) print Model: vbox harddisk (ide) Disk/dev/hdd: 2199 GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: gpt Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 6. Divide the entire hard disk into good partitions according to the above method. The following is an example after dividing. (Parted) mkpart Partition name? []? Dp1 File system type? [Ext2]? Ext3 Start? 0 End? 500 GB (Parted) mkpart Partition name? []? Dp2 File system type? [Ext2]? Ext3 Start? 500 GB End? 2199 GB (Parted) print Model: vbox harddisk (ide) Disk/dev/hdd: 2199 GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: gpt Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 17.4kB 500 GB 500 GB dp1 2 500 GB 2199 GB 1699 GB dp2 7. Because the built-in mkfs of parted is not perfect, we can use the quit command to exit parted and use the mkfs command of the system to format the partition, in this case, if you use the fdisk-l command to print the partition table, a warning is displayed, which is normal.
