Usage guidelines
The flash memory 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, perform the following tasks:
•
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.
Examples
# Divide the USB disk on the device evenly into three partitions in simple mode.
