I agree that this looks like a bug. FWIW I updated the docs for this when someone ran into problems passing spaces: parted -s ./disk.img mkpart '"EFI System Partition"' 1M 500M but it doesn't work with an empty string. I don't think we need to go to great lengths to change this, just fix the parsing so you can pass in an empty quoted string. -- Brian C. Lane (PST8PDT)
