Hi,
I noticed a long-standing bug, that the 'name' argument of mkpart seems to be
ignored. It happens only with debug disabled on compilation '--disable-debug'
(as e.g. Arch Linux does for its package). The reason is, that from parted.c
the function ped_partition_set_name is called within an assert. I believe the
code should be rather something like this (which works for me):
--- parted/parted.c.orig 2019-01-27 11:27:54.742081238 +0100
+++ parted/parted.c 2019-01-27 11:28:18.049039748 +0100
