NAME

virt-list-partitions - List partitions in a virtual machine or disk image


SYNOPSIS

 virt-list-partitions [--options] domname
 virt-list-partitions [--options] disk.img [disk.img ...]


DESCRIPTION

virt-list-partitions is a command line tool to list the partitions that are contained in a virtual machine or disk image. It is mainly useful as a first step to using virt-resize(1).

virt-list-partitions is just a simple wrapper around libguestfs(3) functionality. For more complex cases you should look at the guestfish(1) tool.


OPTIONS

--help

Display brief help.

--version

Display version number and exit.

--connect URI | -c URI

If using libvirt, connect to the given URI. If omitted, then we connect to the default libvirt hypervisor.

If you specify guest block devices directly, then libvirt is not used at all.

-h | --human-readable

Show sizes in human-readable form (eg. "1G").

-l | --long

With this option, virt-list-partitions displays the type and size of each partition too (where "type" means ext3, pv etc.)

-t | --total

Display the total size of each block device (as a separate row or rows).
