I want to resize a partition on a 8002GB disk /dev/sdb1 using parted.




Start 1000MB | End 4000MB | Size 3000MB | File system NTFS (and so on)




Current version of parted has replaced resize with resizepart.

I was able to use resizepart to change end to 100% i.e 8002GB but I can't seem to change the start from 1000MB to 1MB.



How can I change this partition to start from 1MB?






linux ubuntu partition parted

parted doesn't have a command to change a partition's start offset. You can delete the partition with the rm command and recreate it with the correct offsets with the mkpart command. However, if you do that your filesystem will cease to function. Moving a partition requires re-writing filesystem structures; a function parted doesn't perform.



Instead, you can use gparted to move the partition, as described in their documentation.

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
