rrs at learner:~$ kpartx -l
/dev/mapper/control: open failed: Permission denied
Failure to communicate with kernel device-mapper driver.
Incompatible libdevmapper � and kernel driver
usage : kpartx [-a|-d|-l] [-f] [-v] wholedisk
-a add partition devmappings
-r devmappings will be readonly
-d del partition devmappings
-u update partition devmappings
-l list partitions devmappings that would be added by -a
-p set device name-partition number delimiter
-g force GUID partition table (GPT)
-f force devmap create
-v verbose
-s sync mode. Don't return until the partitions are created
kpartx expects a block device as an argument.
