NAME¶
gptsync - GPT partition table to MBR partition table synchronisation
SYNOPSIS¶
gptsync [
-q] [
-t]
device
DESCRIPTION¶
gptsync reads the GPT partition table on
device and synchronises
the legacy MBR partition table with the GPT partition table. The MBR partition
table can hold only 4 partitions.
Legacy bootloaders or operating systems that do not support GPT require an MBR
partition table; this is typically the case when using GRUB or LILO on an
Intel-based Apple machine.
OPTIONS¶
- -q
- Do not print any message, do not prompt to modify the
MBR.
- -t
- Truncate partitions starting or expending beyond 2 TiB (MBR
limitation). Default is to ignore such partitions.
