--overwrite or -o Installs the Dell
Utility partition over an existing
one.
Example:
upinit --disk=/dev/sda --size=32 --
file=upimg.bin
In the example, upinit creates a Dell Utility Partition of
size 32 MB on /dev/sda using the upimg.bin file.
The --overwrite option should be used for
upgrading/downgrading purposes. The --size option is
not required when using the --overwrite option because
the --overwrite option does not resize an existing Dell
Utility Partition. If any partitions exist, they are not
deleted.
