[PATCH v3 8/8] cmd: gpt: Add command to swap partition order

Fri Aug 25 21:38:24 CEST 2023


Adds a command called "gpt swap-postition" which will swap the order two
partitions are listed in the GPT partition table (but leaves them
pointing to the same locations on disk).

 The 'gpt rename' command renames all partitions named 'part' to be 'name1'.
 CONFIG_CMD_GPT_RENAME=y is required.
 
+The 'gpt swap-position' command swaps the order of two partition index in the
+partition table, but otherwise leaves the actual partition data untouched. For
+example, to swap the order of the 'boot' and 'rootfs' partitions in the disk
+described above, you would do:

 The 'gpt set-bootable' command sets the bootable flag for all partitions in the
 table. If the partition name is in 'partition list' (separated by ','), the
 bootable flag is set, otherwise it is cleared. CONFIG_CMD_GPT_RENAME=y is
