You have to create the partition table first (e.g., via 'parted dev-file mklabel msdos'). Take a look at parted's tests, tests/t*.sh, in the development sources for examples. However, note that that will test only with 512-byte sector sizes on conventional file systems. I.e., you can't simulate certain newer disks for which the sector size is larger. In order to test with a different sector size, you really need the actual device. _______________________________________________ parted-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/parted-devel
