> Initial Comment:
> A 'parted -s' command to create a file system results in a warning message, 
> exits immediately, and does nothing.  For example:
>
>   # parted -s /dev/hda mkfs 5 ext2
>   Warning: The existing file system will be destroyed and all data on the
>   partition will be lost. Do you want to continue?
>
> This used to work in 1.7.1, but not any more since at least 1.8.2.

> In the README file:
> "Most FS-related functionality was removed after Parted 2.4.
> Thus, the following commands are no longer supported:
> mkpartfs, mkfs, cp, move, check, resize."
