partx

Parse a partition table and tell the kernel about it.

• List the partitions on a block device or disk image:

sudo partx --list {path/to/device_or_disk_image}

• Add all the partitions found in a given block device to the kernel:

sudo partx --add --verbose {path/to/device_or_disk_image}

• Delete all the partitions found from the kernel (does not alter partitions on disk):

sudo partx --delete {path/to/device_or_disk_image}
