Package: parted Version: 2.3-1 Severity: wishlist Hi,
it's a common case that one wants a new partition to start or end right next to an already existing partition. parted currently cannot do this automatically. Neither does it allow to specify a partition _size_ automatically. Both issues could be solved by adding some kind of relative addressing. For example, a start of "p2+0" would mean "start the new partition right after partition 2, with zero gap"; a start of "p2-1G" would mean, start the new partition 1 Gigabyte before p2. "p0" would mean the new partition, so an end of "p0+2G" would make the new partition 2 Gigabytes large. Please consider implementing such an option, making parted much more flexible.
