    **list**
        List short information about given device. If no devices
        are given, all devices are listed.


    **show**
        Show detailed information about given devices. If no devices
        are provided, all of them are displayed.


    **provides**
        Show devices, which are created from given devices
        (= show children of the devices).

        For example, if a disk is provided, all partitions on it are
        returned. If 'deep' is used, all RAIDs, Volume Groups and
        Logical Volumes indirectly allocated from it are returned too.


    **depends**
        Show devices, which are required by given devices to operate
        correctly (= show parents of the devices).

        For example, if a Logical Volume is provided, its Volume Group

        and all dependent devices are shown.


**Options:**



    **device**
        Identifier of the device. Either one of:

        * DeviceID of appropriate CIM_StorageExtent object. This is
          internal OpenLMI ID of the device and it should be stable
          across system reboots.

        * Device name directly in /dev directory, such as '/dev/sda'.
          This device name is available as Name property of
          CIM_StorageExtent object.

        * Name of MD RAID or logical volume. This method cannot be used
          when the name is not unique, for example when there are two
          logical volumes with the same name, allocated from different
          volume groups. This name is available as ElementName
          property of CIM_StorageExtent object.

        If no size is given, the resulting partition will occupy the
        largest available space on disk.

        The command automatically creates extended and logical
        partitions using these rules:

        * If no partition type (logical or extended) is provided and
          MS-DOS partition is requested and there is extended partition
          already on the device, a logical partition is created.

        * If there is no extended partition on the device and there are
          at most two primary partitions on the device, primary
          partition is created.

        * If there is no extended partition and three primary partitions
          already exist, new extended partition with all remaining space
          is created and a logical partition with requested size is
          created.


    **delete**
        Delete given partitions.


    **show**
        Show detailed information about given partitions. If no
        partitions are provided, all of them are displayed.

        Size of the new partition volume, by default in sectors.
        'T', 'G', 'M' or 'K' suffix can be used to specify other
        units (TiB, GiB, MiB and KiB) - '1K' specifies 1 KiB
        (= 1024 bytes).

    **device,**
        

    **partition**
        Identifier of the device/partition. Either one of:

        * DeviceID of appropriate CIM_StorageExtent object. This is

          across system reboots.

        * Device name directly in /dev directory, such as '/dev/sda'.
          This device name is available as Name property of
          CIM_StorageExtent object.

        * Name of MD RAID or logical volume. This method cannot be used
          when the name is not unique, for example when there are two
          logical volumes with the same name, allocated from different
          volume groups. This name is available as ElementName
          property of CIM_StorageExtent object.
