Description Melendro 2012-03-18 19:05:03 UTC
I've just installed parted to play (and possible destroy) my partitions, but there's a lot of parted commands that I cannot use.

From the --help that's all the commands I can use:

COMMANDs:
  align-check TYPE N                        check partition N for TYPE(min|opt)
        alignment
  help [COMMAND]                           print general help, or help on
        COMMAND
  mklabel,mktable LABEL-TYPE               create a new disklabel (partition
        table)
  mkpart PART-TYPE [FS-TYPE] START END     make a partition
  name NUMBER NAME                         name partition NUMBER as NAME
  print [devices|free|list,all|NUMBER]     display the partition table,
        available devices, free space, all found partitions, or a particular
        partition
  quit                                     exit program
  rescue START END                         rescue a lost partition near START
        and END
  rm NUMBER                                delete partition NUMBER
  select DEVICE                            choose the device to edit
  set NUMBER FLAG STATE                    change the FLAG on partition NUMBER
  toggle [NUMBER [FLAG]]                   toggle the state of FLAG on partition
        NUMBER
  unit UNIT                                set the default unit to UNIT
  version                                  display the version number and
        copyright information of GNU Parted

But if you look at the man page, there's a lot more commands, just the ones I need: move and resize.

The version installed and the USE flags are:
[ebuild   R    ] sys-block/parted-3.0  USE="debug nls readline -device-mapper (-selinux) -static-libs -test" 0 kB

Am I doing something wrong? Do I need more use flags active?

This ought to get fixed upstream.
