Missing info?? |

I've been working to create an iso image that includes
both regular usb boot, and UEFI usb boot.
Process works fine. Create a 64M file, and create
everything to the iso image.
When image is copied to a flash thou, it has an issue since
the flash is much larger than the 64M.
Both gparted and parted -l will prompt to fix the error
and do so nicely.
With parted the -l option does the fix, but it runs on all
devices in machine, not just the single flash??
Running parted -l shows info on all devices, and then
prompts to repair.
Warning: Not all of the space available to /dev/sdb
appears to be used, you can fix the GPT to use all of the
space (an extra 15499264 blocks) or continue with the
current setting?
Fix/Ignore? Fix
Model: SanDisk Cruzer Blade (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdb: 8003MB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Disk Flags:
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
1 1049kB 67.1MB 66.0MB fat16 G4L boot, esp
Have automated the fix with.
echo -e "Fix" | sudo parted -l ---pretend-input-tty
Was looking at page on parted, and it doesn't list the -l
option at all, and don't see the --pretend-input-tty either??
Would like to have the parted -l only run against the flash
device rather than all devices, but doesn't seem to work
by adding the device to line..
Not a big deal, but thought I would mention it.
The parted --help does list options.
OPTIONs:
-h, --help displays this help message
-l, --list lists partition layout on all block
devices
-m, --machine displays machine parseable
output
-s, --script never prompts for user
intervention
-v, --version displays the version
-a, --align=[none|cyl|min|opt] alignment for new
partitions
Thanks.

You don't mention what version and distribution you are using. Upstream
parted does have -l in the manpage so I'd file a bug with the
distribution.
parted now (or will, depending on whether your distribution includes
patches from master) has a --fix option for your exact problem. When
used along with --script it will automatically fix the size of the disk
and write the backup partition table.
