persistent partition

[David Cottrill <david.cottrill@nchsoftware.com>]

I'm after a clever way to sort out my partitioning.

Like many of you I'm generating many operating systems with varying
parameters - which helpfully will be going onto varying size disks.

Is there a script based way of creating a second (or third) partition
that takes up the rest of a disk of unknown size?

sfdisk always complains about the debian-live partition.
cfdisk isn't scriptable.


fdisk only sort of works for scripts but is better than the others - any
suggestions?

Thanks,
David
