I've successfully created my own live image and I can write it to my USB drive 
but I can't seem to figure out how to make the unused space on the USB drive 
available.

The Live-Debian documentation 
(https://live-team.pages.debian.net/live-manual/html/live-manual/the-basics.en.html#191)
 indicates that the live partition can be resized with gparted or parted and 
another writeable partition can be created, however neither application allows 
me to do this.

When I used the print command in parted I get the following:

```
$ sudo parted /dev/sda
GNU Parted 3.3
Using /dev/sda
Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands.
(parted) print
Warning: The driver descriptor says the physical block size is 2048 bytes, but 
Linux says it is 512 bytes.
Ignore/Cancel? I
Model:  USB  SanDisk 3.2Gen1 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 246GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 2048B/512B
Partition Table: mac
Disk Flags:

Number  Start  End     Size    File system  Name   Flags

 2      379kB  3164kB  2785kB               EFI
```

If I try to use mkpart to create a new primary, extended, or logical partition 
I get errors about to many primary partitions.
I also find it odd that the Partition Table is "mac" (which I think equates to 
a hfsplus layout).

I'm wondering if there is a way to make the Partition table gpt or mbr?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
