I ran the foll. command:
The parted command (when I print the details) outputs something like below:
1 2048MB .......
what I want to bring in your notice that only 1 row came showing the complete size of the disk (detachable device) although I created 2 partitions with fdisk command.
The output of the below differs from above
It outputs 2 rows as I created 2 partitions. Why then parted command doesn't show it and shows the total size of the disk.
My other question :
When I put a fresh pendrive (without partitioning) it shows as one. (I mean it doesn't show that there are any partitions as I havent created any which is fine). Now when I create a partition say /dev/sdb1 (of /dev/sdb) then the output of fdisk shows sdb1. What about the remaining space. Now after creating a partition (sdb1), why then only sdb1 can be mounted and not the other part. Because earlier when there was no partition , it had mounted the complete disk.
Hello All, I am trying to list only directories in my current directory using the command "ls -d". But the output only contains the default directory "." and doesn't list the rest of the directories in the working directory. Can anyone explain why this is happening (2 Replies)
My question is very strange.
I can run ls command on remote host using ssh successfully. but when i try to run /sbin/md5 command on remote host. it doesnt run and get back to me on command prompt.
md5 command is exist on remote host.
This is what i tried which ran successfully.

PARTED(8) GNU Parted Manual PARTED(8)NAME
GNU Parted - a partition manipulation program
SYNOPSIS
parted [options] [device [command [options...]...]]
DESCRIPTION
parted is a program to manipulate disk partitions. It supports multiple partition table formats, including MS-DOS and GPT. It is useful
for creating space for new operating systems, reorganising disk usage, and copying data to new hard disks.
This manual page documents parted briefly. Complete documentation is distributed with the package in GNU Info format.
OPTIONS -h, --help
displays a help message
-l, --list
lists partition layout on all block devices
-m, --machine
displays machine parseable output
-s, --script
never prompts for user intervention
-v, --version
displays the version
-a alignment-type, --align alignment-type
Set alignment for newly created partitions, valid alignment types are:
none Use the minimum alignment allowed by the disk type.
cylinder
Align partitions to cylinders.
minimal
Use minimum alignment as given by the disk topology information. This and the opt value will use layout information provided
by the disk to align the logical partition table addresses to actual physical blocks on the disks. The min value is the min-
imum alignment needed to align the partition properly to physical blocks, which avoids performance degradation.
optimal
Use optimum alignment as given by the disk topology information. This aligns to a multiple of the physical block size in a
way that guarantees optimal performance.
COMMANDS
[device]
The block device to be used. When none is given, parted will use the first block device it finds.
[command [options]]
Specifies the command to be executed. If no command is given, parted will present a command prompt. Possible commands are:
help [command]
Print general help, or help on command if specified.
align-check type partition
Check if partition satisfies the alignment constraint of type. type must be "minimal" or "optimal".
mklabel label-type
Create a new disklabel (partition table) of label-type. label-type should be one of "aix", "amiga", "bsd", "dvh", "gpt",
"loop", "mac", "msdos", "pc98", or "sun".
mkpart part-type [fs-type] start end
Make a part-type partition for filesystem fs-type (if specified), beginning at start and ending at end (by default in
megabytes). part-type should be one of "primary", "logical", or "extended".
name partition name
Set the name of partition to name. This option works only on Mac, PC98, and GPT disklabels. The name can be placed in quotes,
if necessary.
print Display the partition table.
quit Exit from parted.
rescue start end
Rescue a lost partition that was located somewhere between start and end. If a partition is found, parted will ask if you
want to create an entry for it in the partition table.
resizepart partition end
Change the end position of partition. Note that this does not modify any filesystem present in the partition.
rm partition
Delete partition.
select device
Choose device as the current device to edit. device should usually be a Linux hard disk device, but it can be a partition,
software raid device, or an LVM logical volume if necessary.
set partition flag state
Change the state of the flag on partition to state. Supported flags are: "boot", "root", "swap", "hidden", "raid", "lvm",
"lba", "legacy_boot", "irst", "esp" and "palo". state should be either "on" or "off".
unit unit
Set unit as the unit to use when displaying locations and sizes, and for interpreting those given by the user when not suf-
fixed with an explicit unit. unit can be one of "s" (sectors), "B" (bytes), "kB", "MB", "MiB", "GB", "GiB", "TB", "TiB", "%"
(percentage of device size), "cyl" (cylinders), "chs" (cylinders, heads, sectors), or "compact" (megabytes for input, and a
human-friendly form for output).
toggle partition flag
Toggle the state of flag on partition.
version
Display version information and a copyright message.
