[Parted-maintainers] Bug#590958: parted: print <number> does not work for unfomatted partition

[Marc Haber]

Package: parted
Version: 2.3-1
Severity: normal

(parted) print
Model: ATA WDC WD1002FBYS-0 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 1953525168s
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt

Number  Start   End      Size    File system  Name  Flags
 1      77824s  116735s  38912s               ext2

(parted) print 1
Error: Could not detect file system.
(parted)

According to help output, "print 1" is to print information about
partition 1. If this would work as advertised, parsing parted output
(as it is necessary to generate adjacent partitions or partitions of a
defined size) will probably be much more easy.
