[Parted-maintainers] Bug#622153: parted mklabel bsd and mkpart problem

[Nikita A Menkovich]

Package: parted
Version: 2.3-5
Severity: important

I want to create freebsd partition for virtual machine in linux so I
run:


# parted /dev/vda


(parted) mklabel bsd                                                      
Warning: The existing disk label on /dev/vda will be destroyed and all
data on
this disk will be lost. Do you want to continue?
Yes/No? y                                                                 
(parted) mkpart primary 64s -1s                                           
parted: invalid token: primary
File system type?  [ext2]?

for example with msdos it works fine

(parted) mklabel msdos                                                    
Warning: The existing disk label on /dev/vda will be destroyed and all
data on
this disk will be lost. Do you want to continue?
Yes/No? y                                                                 
(parted) mkpart primary 64s -1s                                           
Warning: The resulting partition is not properly aligned for best
performance.
Ignore/Cancel? i
