gptsync8
Gpt partition table to mbr partition table synchronisation
Usage
gptsync [-q]
[-t]
device
Overview
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.
Releases
