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.
Somewhere in my reading and testing I got that mkpart format was
mkpart part-type label fs-type start end
and then part-type became dropped if the partition type is gpt.
Seems on further reading you are probably right. There is a separate
labels command.
