partx

Parse a partition table and tell the kernel about it. More information: https://manned.org/partx.

• 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
