Consider the following partition layout
# Start End
1 0Mb 54Mb
and the following request
parted --script /dev/sda mkpart p ext2 50 100
Then parted 1.8.8 would say the closest it could manage was to start the
new partition at 54Mb and ask if it's OK and exit as a failure.
But since we're running it in script more we want it to go ahead.
I've knocked up a very quick patched version which we're deploying to
fix this problem.
Cheers,
Kenny.
