We read
mkpart part-type [fs-type] start end
Make a part-type partition with filesystem fs-type (if
specified), beginning at start and ending at end (by
default in megabytes). fs-type can be one of "fat16",
"fat32", "ext2", "HFS", "linux-swap", "NTFS", "reiserfs",
or "ufs". part-type should be one of "primary", "logi-
cal", or "extended".
mkpartfs part-type fs-type start end
Make a part-type partition with filesystem fs-type begin-
ning at start and ending at end (by default in
megabytes). Using this command is discouraged. Instead
use mkpart to create an empty partition, and then use
external tools like mke2fs(8) to create the filesystem.
Empty partitions?!?!
Well then change the previous paragraph to say
mkpart part-type [fs-type] start end
Make AN EMPTY part-type partition with filesystem
fs-type (if
specified), beginning at start and ending at end (by
default in megabytes). fs-type can be one of "fat16",
"fat32", "ext2", "HFS", "linux-swap", "NTFS", "reiserfs",
or "ufs". part-type should be one of "primary", "logi-
cal", or "extended".
for crying out loud!
