Jim> works.
Except that it does not :<
[r...@test:~/] # parted --script /dev/sdb mklabel gpt
[r...@test:~/] # parted --script -- /dev/sdb mkpart gpt 0 -1s
Error: You requested a partition from 0.00B to 7000GB.
The closest location we can manage is 17.4kB to 7000GB.
[r...@test:~/] # parted /dev/sdb print
Model: AMCC 9650SE-8LP DISK (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdb: 7000GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags

So I'm still off to RTFC :<
