Parameters
medium-name: Specifies the name of the storage medium to be partitioned.
partition-number: Specifies the number of partitions, in the range of 1 to 4.
Usage guidelines
The Flash cannot be partitioned.
If the partition-number argument is specified, the storage medium is divided into the specified
number of partitions. Otherwise, partitioning is performed in an interactive way.
It is normal that the specified partition size and the actual partition size have an error less than 5% of
the total memory.
A partition cannot be partitioned.
Before partitioning a USB disk:
•
Back up the files in the storage medium. The partition operation clears all data in the medium.
•
If you are partitioning a USB disk, make sure the disk is not write protected. Otherwise, the
partition operation will fail, and you must remount or reinstall the disk to restore access to the
USB disk.
•
Make sure no other users are accessing the medium. Otherwise, the partition operation fails.
