create the Dell Utility Partition.

--size or -s Size in MB for the Dell

Utility Partition.

--file or -f filename of Dell Utility

Partition Image File.

--overwrite or -o Installs the Dell

Utility partition over an existing

one.

Example 2:

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 upimg.bin file.

NOTE: 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 deleted.
