Hi Team, I am writing this email to you because of an error that I've been encountering using parted command on a NVMe disk.
Using an Ubuntu 20.04 dist, I've been trying to create partitions on a NVMe disk though I see errors. Below I will put just one of the conditions that I've faced errors, but there are several. (parted) print free Model: NVMe Device (nvme) Disk /dev/nvme0n1: 5369MB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Disk Flags: Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 0.00B 511B 512B Free Space 1 512B 1074MB 1074MB primary lvm 1074MB 5369MB 4295MB Free Space *(parted) mkpart extended xfs 1074MB 1574MB * Error: Invalid number. However, the same action could be done if the File-System is not mentioned in the command: *(parted) mkpart extended 1074MB 1574MB* (parted) print Model: NVMe Device (nvme) Disk /dev/nvme0n1: 5369MB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Disk Flags: Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 512B 1074MB 1074MB primary lvm 2 1074MB 1574MB 500MB extended lba It seems the command only denies using XFS File System as it does accept other partitions as below: (parted) mkpart primary ext4 1575MB 1774MB (parted) print Model: NVMe Device (nvme) Disk /dev/nvme0n1: 5369MB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Disk Flags: Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 512B 1074MB 1074MB primary lvm 2 1074MB 1574MB 500MB primary lba 3 1575MB 1774MB 199MB primary ext4 lba Would you please check the case as I observed the same question in some relevant forums? I am looking forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely, Hossein Ojani
