OS: Fedora | Component: parted-3.4-2.fc34.x86_64

parted mode: interactive

Target device: 256 MiB USB-storage

Starting state: existence alone of partition table; then no partition.

Hello.

• The creation of partition table and naming of partition when supported by selected partition table, succeed.
• The creation of filesystem fails.

# parted /dev/sdc
(...)
(parted) mkpart primary ext4 0% 100%
(parted) quit
Information: You may need to update /etc/fstab.

Note: Unknown instruction in regards to mention "You may need to update /etc/fstab".

# parted /dev/sdc
(parted) print
Model: Kingston DataTraveler 2.0 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdc: 255MB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Disk Flags:

Number  Start   End    Size   Type     File system  Flags
 1      1049kB  255MB  254MB  primary               lba
 (parted) quit

For example, here is a Gparted v.1.3.1 interpretation:

"Unable to detect file system! Possible reasons are:
- The file system is damaged
- The file system is unknown to GParted
- There is no file system available (unformatted)
- The device entry /dev/sdc1 is missing"
