(Sorry if this is already done)
1) It would be nice to a "-f" or "--force" option so you could do something
destructive using the --script option, i.e.
# parted --force --script /dev/sda mklabel msdos
2) It would be great if there was a "--commands" option to parted to have it
print out the parted commands required to recreate a partitioning scheme,
i.e.
Say this is the output of the following:
# parted --script /dev/sda print
Model: DELL PERC 5/i (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 599GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 32.3kB 156MB 156MB primary ext3
2 156MB 210GB 210GB primary ext3
3 210GB 243GB 33.6GB primary linux-swap
4 243GB 599GB 355GB extended
5 243GB 275GB 31.5GB logical ext3
6 275GB 285GB 10.5GB logical ext3
7 285GB 296GB 10.5GB logical ext3
8 296GB 599GB 303GB logical ext3
The "--commands" option would generate something like the following:
# parted --script /dev/sda --commands
parted --force --script /dev/sda mklabel msdos
parted --script /dev/sda mkpartfs primary ext2 32.3kB 156MB
parted --script /dev/sda mkpartfs primary ext2 156MB 210GB
parted --script /dev/sda mkpartfs primary linux-swap 210GB 243GB
parted --script /dev/sda mkpart extended 243GB 599GB
parted --script /dev/sda mkpartfs logical ext2 243GB 275GB
parted --script /dev/sda mkpartfs logical ext2 275GB 285GB
parted --script /dev/sda mkpartfs logical ext2 285GB 296GB
parted --script /dev/sda mkpartfs logical ext2 296GB 599GB
I would find this useful for kickstart or when recreating some system from
backups.
