13.3. Removing a Partition
Warning
Do not attempt to remove a partition on a device that is in use.
Procedure 13.3. Remove a partition
- Before removing a partition, boot into rescue mode (or unmount any partitions on the device and turn off any swap space on the device).
- Start
parted
, where/dev/sda
is the device on which to remove the partition:# parted /dev/sda
- View the current partition table to determine the minor number of the partition to remove:
# print
- Remove the partition with the command
rm
. For example, to remove the partition with minor number 3:# rm 3
The changes start taking place as soon as you press Enter, so review the command before committing to it. - After removing the partition, use the
print
command to confirm that it is removed from the partition table. You should also view the output of/proc/partitions
to make sure the kernel knows the partition is removed.# cat /proc/partitions
- The last step is to remove it from the
/etc/fstab
file. Find the line that declares the removed partition, and remove it from the file.
