PARTFS(8)							     PARTFS(8)

NAME
       partfs - serve file, with partitions

SYNOPSIS
       disk/partfs [ -Dr ] [ -d diskname ] [ -m mtpt ] [ -p 9load-parts ] [ -s
       srvname ] diskimage

DESCRIPTION
       Partfs  presents	 the  file  diskimage  in  the	manner	of  sd(3)   on
       mtpt/diskname  (default /dev/sdXX).  Changes made to the disk are writ‐
       ten through to diskimage unless the -r option is given.

       When setting disk geometry with the geometry control message, the argu‐
       ments are sectors and sector size.

       The  -m option causes partfs to mount its synthetic file system at mtpt
       instead of /dev.

       The -p option causes partfs to treat 9load-parts as a  partition	 envi‐
       ronment	variable  constructed  by  9load  (see	9boot(8)) and adds the
       defined partitions.  This is used primarily by boot(8) to assist	 boot‐
       ing from USB disks.

       The -s option causes partfs to post its 9P service at /srv/service.

EXAMPLES
       Partition a USB flash device:

	      disk/partfs /dev/sdU0.0/data
	      disk/mbr -m /386/mbr /dev/sdXX/data
	      disk/fdisk -baw /dev/sdXX/data
	      disk/prep /dev/sdXX/plan9
