Seems like I accidentally deleted the last sentence. When I try the second chunk of commands, I get a invalid option error.

Dear GNU

I found the following command op the internet:

root@localhost # parted -a optimal /dev/sda

(parted) unit mib

(parted) mkpart primary 515 -1

However, when I try to turn it into a part of a script like this:

root@localhost # parted --script /dev/sda mkpart primary 515 -1

Greetings, Sachiel2008
