So I am making progress but saw a strange bit. #parted /dev/sdb mkpart uboot ext3 4 516 # parted /dev/sdb print Model: Generic- Multi-Card (scsi) Disk /dev/sdb: 7969MB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: gpt Disk Flags: Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 4194kB 516MB 512MB fat32 uboot I formated it with: #mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 # parted /dev/sdb print Model: Generic- Multi-Card (scsi) Disk /dev/sdb: 7969MB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: gpt Disk Flags: Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 4194kB 516MB 512MB ext3 uboot So why did parted mislabel the partition? -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
