Folks:
I am using GNU Parted 1.8.1 on fedora core 5. I have a 256MB thumb drive
without
nn initial partition label.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# fdisk -l /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda: 262 MB, 262144000 bytes
9 heads, 56 sectors/track, 1015 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 504 * 512 = 258048 bytes
Disk /dev/sda doesn't contain a valid partition table
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# parted -s /dev/sda print
Error: Unable to open /dev/sda - unrecognised disk label.
If I try to label with parted it throws an error. My workaround is to
label first with fdisk and then subsequent changes to the partition
label with parted is ok...
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# parted -s /dev/sda mklabel msdos;
