If only that would work. This same thing happened to me. It's incredibly unclear that mklabel does (the main line is that it "creates a new disk label"). There should be a warning on that. Anyway, parted rescue command apparently just doesn't exist or something. Every time I try it, I get a segmentation fault. e.g. "parted" "rescue <cr>" "0" segmentation fault # This is on an x86_64 system, running parted 1.6.25 on an FC5 rescue disk.
