1  -- Command: set NUMBER FLAG STATE
1 
1      Changes a flag on the partition with number NUMBER.  A flag can be
1      either "on" or "off".  Some or all of these flags will be
1      available, depending on what disk label you are using:
1 
1      'bios_grub'
1           (GPT) - Enable this to record that the selected partition is a
1           GRUB BIOS partition.
1 
1      'legacy_boot'
1           (GPT) - this flag is used to tell special purpose software
1           that the GPT partition may be bootable.
1 
1      'boot'
1           (Mac, MS-DOS, PC98) - should be enabled if you want to boot
1           off the partition.  The semantics vary between disk labels.
1           For MS-DOS disk labels, only one partition can be bootable.
1           If you are installing LILO on a partition that partition must
1           be bootable.  For PC98 disk labels, all ext2 partitions must
1           be bootable (this is enforced by Parted).
1 
1      'msftdata'
1           (GPT) - This flag identifies partitions that contain Microsoft
1           filesystems (NTFS or FAT). It may optionally be set on Linux
1           filesystems to mimic the type of configuration created by
1           parted 3.0 and earlier, in which a separate Linux filesystem
1           type code was not available on GPT disks.  This flag can only
1           be removed within parted by replacing it with a competing
1           flag, such as boot or msftres.
1 
1      'msftres'
1           (GPT) - This flag identifies a "Microsoft Reserved" partition,
1           which is used by Windows on GPT disks.  Note that this flag
1           should not normally be set on Windows filesystem partitions
1           (those that contain NTFS or FAT filesystems).
1 
1      'irst'
1           (MS-DOS, GPT) - this flag identifies an Intel Rapid Start
1           Technology partition.
1 
1      'esp'
1           (MS-DOS, GPT) - this flag identifies a UEFI System Partition.
1           On GPT it is an alias for boot.
1 
1      'lba'
1           (MS-DOS) - this flag can be enabled to tell MS DOS, MS Windows
1           9x and MS Windows ME based operating systems to use Linear
1           (LBA) mode.
1 
1      'root'
1           (Mac) - this flag should be enabled if the partition is the
1           root device to be used by Linux.
1 
1      'swap'
1           (Mac) - this flag should be enabled if the partition is the
1           swap device to be used by Linux.
1 
1      'hidden'
1           (MS-DOS, PC98) - this flag can be enabled to hide partitions
1           from Microsoft operating systems.
1 
1      'raid'
1           (MS-DOS) - this flag can be enabled to tell linux the
1           partition is a software RAID partition.
1 
1      'LVM'
1           (MS-DOS) - this flag can be enabled to tell linux the
1           partition is a physical volume.
1 
1      'PALO'
1           (MS-DOS) - this flag can be enabled so that the partition can
1           be used by the Linux/PA-RISC boot loader, palo.
1 
1      'PREP'
1           (MS-DOS, GPT) - this flag can be enabled so that the partition
1           can be used as a PReP boot partition on PowerPC PReP or IBM
1           RS6K/CHRP hardware.
1 
1      'DIAG'
1           (MS-DOS) - Enable this to indicate that a partition can be
1           used as a diagnostics / recovery partition.
1 
1      The print command displays all enabled flags for each partition.
1 
1      Example:
1 
1           (parted) set 1 boot on
1 
1      Set the 'boot' flag on partition 1.
