Andrew & Richard, With older versions of parted the output of "print" was in megabytes with no "human friendly" conversions and suffixes like MB or GB.
In house we wrote a script around parted that automatically created a new logical partition that started 1 megabyte after the last partition. We use this in a troubleshooting class we teach. With older parted, I could take the output of "print" (displayed in megabytes only), add megabytes to it and then use those numbers with mkpartfs. Now I can no longer do that with the new parted print output that has some numbers in MB and some in GB. I can't even convert from GB to MB because the GB numbers are displayed with only one decimal place precision. Please consider reverting the "human friendly" print output change, or support a option to print (say, -m) that prints only megabyte values (ala, the historical output style of 'print').
