Hi,
When specifying "100%" as a maximum on a partition with a "sun" label, it
seems that the "real" size is miscalculated internally, causing parted to
report an error:
% dd if=/dev/zero of=test.img bs=1024k count=0 seek=100
% losetup /dev/loop0 test.img
% parted -s /dev/loop0 mklabel sun
% parted -s /dev/loop0 mkpart ext2 0 100%
Error: You requested a partition from 0.00B to 105MB.
The closest location we can manage is 0.00B to 98.7MB.
% echo $?
1
Replacing 100% with 98.7 works perfectly, as does replacing "sun" with
msdos. I am using parted from Git (e4474291).
Regards,
