Re: bug in parted-1.8.2

[John Stile]

Same issue in 1.8.6.
The -s option used to just it do it and not ask any questions.

wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parted/parted-1.8.6.tar.bz2
tar -jxvpf parted-1.8.6.tar.bz2
cd parted-1,8.6/
./configure
make
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./libparted/.libs
./parted/parted -s /dev/hdc "mklabel msdos \
  mkpart primary 0 380 \
  mkpart primary 380 420 \
  mkpart primary 420 -0"

Warning: The existing disk label on /dev/hdc will be destroyed and all
data on this disk will be lost. Do you want to continue?
