Aloha,

Of course I now see that the help command says it is

    mkpart PART-TYPE [FS-TYPE] START END     make a partition

and

    [r...@test:~/] # /h/thomas/src/parted/parted-1.9.0/parted/parted --script 
-- /dev/sdb mkpart gpt 0.0 -1s
    Error: You requested a partition from 0.00B to 7000GB.
    The closest location we can manage is 17.4kB to 7000GB.
    [r...@test:~/] #

works.

That does not match the external documentation very well :<

Mahalo,
Jim
