The size argument defines the size of the partition. For example, if you
specify a size of 500 MB, the system rounds the size of the partition up to 504 MB. The system
uses all of the free space on the disk when you don??™t define a partition size. The offset only affects
MBR disks. The offset defines the byte offset of the partition. If you don??™t specify an offset, the
partition begins at the beginning of the free space on the disk. The system snaps the partition
size to the cylinder size; it rounds the offset to the closest cylinder boundary. For example, if you

specify an offset that??™s 27 MB and the cylinder size is 8 MB, the system rounds the offset to the
24 MB boundary.
create partition logical [size=N] [offset=N] [noerr] Creates a logical disk within
an extended partition. The utility gives the new partition the focus once the system creates it.
