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.
