'Parted newbie' request. Recently had to use 'parted' - as I share a disk in my Apple MacBook Pro with a bootable linux partition -and- (another machine) put together a Raid-5 device with six Terabyte drives and wanted a file system of about five terabytes.
I'm old school (fdisk). I really miss not being given the default values that 'fdisk' does when partitioning a disk - ie when adding partitions :- Start [Default 0] : ??? (where default of '0' is where you last left off) Finish [Def = end-of-disk]: so we don't need to read wiki pages to find that '-0' means the end.... I also love the "+10G" syntax I can use in 'fdisk' - ie - I want this partition to end 10Gigs after its start - without using a calculator. These short cuts helped fdisk comfort me - and I really miss them. Can we have these as a feature request - pretty please? -- . . ___. .__ Posix Systems - Sth Africa /| /| / /__ m...@posix.co.za - Mark J Elkins, SCO ACE, Cisco CCIE / |/ |ARK \_/ /__ LKINS Tel: +27 12 807 0590 Cell: +27 82 601 0496 _______________________________________________ bug-parted mailing list bug-parted@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-parted
