Forget that one, here is a tested one, that uses sectors and takes
into account that the first partition does not start at sector 0
------------ start of script auto-format -------------------
#/bin/bash
# Automatically add a partition which fills the rest of a debian-live usb-key
# usage: auto-format device
# e.g. auto-format /dev/sdb
DEV=$1
START=`sfdisk -l -uS $DEV | grep "*" | awk {'print $3'} | cut -d "-" -f 1`
SIZE=`sfdisk -l -uS $DEV | grep "*" | awk {'print $5'} | cut -d "-" -f 1`
END=`sfdisk -l -uS $DEV | grep "*" | awk {'print $4'} | cut -d "-" -f 1`
let END=END+1
echo -e "${START},${SIZE},,*\n${END},,L\n" | sfdisk -uS $DEV
mke2fs -L "live-rw" ${DEV}2
------------- end of auto-format ----------------------------
