It is difficult to create partitions after existing partitions using parted:
1. you will have to find the last partition on disk 2. you will have to find the last block used by the partition found with he first step 3. you have to add 1 to this last block. 4. you can now give the command to create a new partition after this partition it would be nice to have the ability to specify something like mkpart <type> <fs> after 100%FREE to automatically create a partition after the last partition taking up 100% of free space without having to look first for the last partition, then the last block used, add one to construct the command to create the new partition. -- Thomas
