sgdisk
Manage GUID Partition Tables (GPT). Part of the GPT fdisk suite; designed for scripting and automation. More information: https://manned.org/sgdisk.
- Display basic GPT partition summary data for a device:
sudo sgdisk {{[-p|--print]}} {{/dev/sdX}}
- Wipe both GPT and MBR data structures from a device (destroys all partition information):
sudo sgdisk {{[-Z|--zap-all]}} {{/dev/sdX}}
- Convert a GPT disk to MBR format using up to four partitions:
sudo sgdisk {{[-m|--gpttombr]}} {{1:2:3:4}} {{/dev/sdX}}
- Delete a partition entry by number (data in sectors remains untouched):
sudo sgdisk {{[-d|--delete]}} {{1}} {{/dev/sdX}}
- Save the current in-memory GPT data (protective MBR, headers, and table) to a binary backup file:
sudo sgdisk {{[-b|--backup]}} {{/path/to/backup.gpt}} {{/dev/sdX}}
- Load GPT data from a backup file (restoring from a non-original disk is not recommended):
sudo sgdisk {{[-l|--load-backup]}} {{/path/to/backup.gpt}} {{/dev/sdX}}
- Verify GPT structures for CRC errors, mismatches, or inconsistencies:
sudo sgdisk {{[-v|--verify]}} {{/dev/sdX}}
- Display a summary of available partition type codes (no device required):
sgdisk {{[-L|--list-types]}}
