'parted print $dev' does not give any useful information for a device without a disk label, even the informations which are not dependent on the label (geometry, size, sector size etc.). This is an attempt to make 'parted print' more useful with an empty disk.
This series is based on feedback I got for the first 'always print geometry' patches: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg03022.html Before: modprobe scsi_debug ./parted -s /dev/sdd print Error: /dev/sdd: unrecognised disk label After: ./parted -s /dev/sdd print Error: /dev/sdd: unrecognised disk label Model: Linux scsi_debug (scsi) Disk /dev/sdd: 8389kB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: unknown I would like to suppress the 'Error: /dev/sdX: unrecognised disk label" in the output, but I don't know how to achieve that. I know I could catch the exceptions (ped_exception_fetch_all()) from ped_disk_new(), but this in turn disables some other error messages from ped_disk_new(), that should not be suppressed, e.g. the 'Error: The primary GPT table is corrupt, but the backup appears OK'. Any idea how to suppress this particular error message only when called from do_print?
