Next, sizing. Back in the fdisk days I could see how many cylinders were [supposedly :-] on a disk and use 'em all; apparently under parted I have to specify an offset and size for my new partition. The offset is 0, so that one is easy :-) How do I find the end of the disk more closely than 4TB or 4000GB, though, so that I use it all, other than perhaps by trial and error?
From help mkpart in parted: --><-- Negative values count from the end of the disk. For example, -1s specifies exactly the last sector. --><--
