`parted` command man page missing `fs-type` definition

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • parted command man page missing fs-type definition.
    mkpartfs option has been removed from parted. It does not work in actual command and we have to manually create a fs on the device.
    However, fs-type options which we could use with parted are seen missing in the above package version.

Before

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", "logical", or "extended".

Now

mkpart part-type [fs-type] start end
Make a part-type partition for filesystem fs-type (if specified), beginning at start and ending at end (by default in megabytes).  part-type should be one of "primary", "logical", or "extended".
