— Command: set number flag state Changes a flag on the partition with number number. A flag can be either “on” or “off”. Some or all of these flags will be available, depending on what disk label you are using: ‘bios_grub’ (GPT) - Enable this to record that the selected partition is a GRUB BIOS partition. ‘legacy_boot’ (GPT) - this flag is used to tell special purpose software that the GPT partition may be bootable. ‘boot’ (Mac, MS-DOS, PC98) - should be enabled if you want to boot off the partition. The semantics vary between disk labels. For MS-DOS disk labels, only one partition can be bootable. If you are installing LILO on a partition that partition must be bootable. For PC98 disk labels, all ext2 partitions must be bootable (this is enforced by Parted). ‘lba’ (MS-DOS) - this flag can be enabled to tell MS DOS, MS Windows 9x and MS Windows ME based operating systems to use Linear (LBA) mode. ‘root’ (Mac) - this flag should be enabled if the partition is the root device to be used by Linux. ‘swap’ (Mac) - this flag should be enabled if the partition is the swap device to be used by Linux. ‘hidden’ (MS-DOS, PC98) - this flag can be enabled to hide partitions from Microsoft operating systems. ‘raid’ (MS-DOS) - this flag can be enabled to tell linux the partition is a software RAID partition. ‘LVM’ (MS-DOS) - this flag can be enabled to tell linux the partition is a physical volume. ‘PALO’ (MS-DOS) - this flag can be enabled so that the partition can be used by the Linux/PA-RISC boot loader, palo. ‘PREP’ (MS-DOS) - this flag can be enabled so that the partition can be used as a PReP boot partition on PowerPC PReP or IBM RS6K/CHRP hardware. ‘DIAG’ (MS-DOS) - Enable this to indicate that a partition can be used as a diagnostics / recovery partition. The print command displays all enabled flags for each partition. Example: (parted) set 1 boot on Set the ‘boot’ flag on partition 1.
