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. |
