           MKPT(8)            UNIX Programmer's Manual             MKPT(8)



           NAME
                mkpt - change the disk partition tables

           DESCRIPTION
                _▶08◀M_▶08◀k_▶08◀p_▶08◀t is a standalone program that may be used to edit  the
                drive  header in order to modify the origin and/or size of
                the filesystem partitions on a drive.  The size of a  par-
                tition  is  specified  in  disk  _▶08◀s_▶08◀e_▶08◀c_▶08◀t_▶08◀o_▶08◀r_▶08◀s,  not  filesystem
                blocks.

                _▶08◀M_▶08◀k_▶08◀p_▶08◀t uses the standard  notation  of  the  standalone  I/O
                library in identifying a partition to be modified.  A par-
                tition is specified as _▶08◀d_▶08◀c(_▶08◀x,_▶08◀y), where _▶08◀x refers to the unit
                number of the drive, and _▶08◀y refers to the filesystem parti-
                tion that is to be modified.

                The program terminates when it receives a carriage  return
                in  response  to  the  prompt  for  a partition to modify.
                Entering a carriage return in response  to  other  prompts
                will  zero  that  field.   Invalid  input  detected in any
                response will cause a termination of that  cycle,  without
                modifying any field changed during that cycle.

                If a partition is to be changed, any filesystems that will
                be affected by the changes should first be dumped to tape.
                Next, run _▶08◀m_▶08◀k_▶08◀p_▶08◀t and make the appropriate  modifications  to
                the  partition  table.   A  new  filesystem should then be
                built with _▶08◀m_▶08◀k_▶08◀f_▶08◀s(8).  After the  new  filesystem  has  been
                built,  restore  the  affected  filesystems  from the dump
                tape.

           DIAGNOSTICS
                The diagnostics are intended to be self explanatory.

           BUGS
                An equivalent facility that operates under a running  UNIX
                system should be available.
