Sorry for my unclear question.
This example is  from the user page of parted.
I tried to implement this function according to this example.
But I could not figure out the meaning of some items like below:

Size:            945.000Mb (0%)
Minimum size:     84.361Mb (0%)
Maximum size:   2445.679Mb (100%)

What does this Minimum size and Maximum size mean respectively?

I guess the Maximum size is the capacity of this device, but what about the

Minimum size? And the percent number?


It will be better if you can help. Thanks.
