6       partx - telling the kernel about presence and numbering of on-disk par‐
7       titions.

SYNOPSIS

10       partx [-a|-d|-l] [--type TYPE] [--nr M-N] [partition] disk

DESCRIPTION

13       Given a block device ( disk ) and a partition table type , try to parse
14       the  partition  table,  and list the contents. Optionally add or remove
15       partitions.
16
17       This is not an fdisk - adding and removing partitions is not  a  change
18       of  the  disk, but just telling the kernel about presence and numbering
19       of on-disk partitions.
