Not sure what the error means, but may have an idea what the problem is. Any chance you have old non-linux partitions on the disk already? clearpart --linux will only remove linux partition info. I think you may want to use clearpart --all (check syntax) What happens if you remove the "--asprimary --onprimary 2" flags?
