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?
I don't think "uboot" is a valid partition type--it should be "primary", "logical" or "extended". Thus the format of the command should have been: # parted /dev/sdb mkpart primary ext3 4 516 # parted /dev/sdb name 1 uboot I've noticed that parted sometimes makes some weird decisions if parameters it expects are missing or mis-specified. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - A friend said he climbed to the top of Mount Rainier.
