Hi,all:

Sorry, this isn’t a bug report.

I am new to parted.

There is one thing I don’t know what to do.

I try to make a partition which starts from the head of hard disk and ends to the end of the hard disk.

I check the source code of parted (1.6.5). It seems I can use ‘-0’ to indicate the end of the hard disk.

I tried it in interactive mode. It works. But I need this in non-interactive mode. I tried two ways, and both of them didn’t work.

The first I tried:

parted /dev/hdc mkpart ext2 0 -0

 

The second I tried:

parted /dev/hdc << EOF

mkpart ext2 0 -0

EOF

 

Can anybody tell me how to do that?

Thanks in advance!
