Usage

Listing block devices

disk-util.list

Creating a partition Partitions need to be created with a valid type e.g. 0x83, size and offset (in bytes). Note that the block device needs to be provided (not the partition) i.e. sdd not sdd3.

sudo disk-util.create sdd 0x83 55574528 1048576

Create and format a partition The create-format command creates a partition as a single step. The parameters need to be supplied as per the create command, with the additional format of the partition e.g. ext4.

sudo disk-util.create-format sdd 0x83 55574528 1048576 ext4

Delete a partition Remove an existing partition.

sudo disk-util.delete sdd3
