partitionmasker version 0.0.2
partitionmasker is a script for Linux to ease the creation of
virtual block devices that map an existing device with a BIOS disk
label (MBR, partition table), mapping some parts read-only and some
read-write.
See the file "LICENSE" for license and copyright.
HELP/USAGE
==========
Help can be found inside the source file "partitionmasker" itself,
at the very beginning, or with
partitionmasker -h
as soon as it is installed.
INSTALLATION
============
partitionmasker relies on ruby, blockdev, sfdisk, losetup and
of course dmsetup. Make sure all these tools are installed on your
system.
Move the file partitionmasker to some location inside your $PATH, and
set appropriate permissions. Make sure that the ruby interpreter path
on the first line of the file is correct.
If you want to use a configuration file, use (a copy of) the file
config_example as a start.
