I'm trying to troubleshoot a script that used to work in some scenarios before. If I substitute script variables, what I'm trying to run is:
parted -s /dev/sdb unit MiB resizepart 1 307199
This produces:
Warning: Partition /dev/sdb1 is being used. Are you sure you want to continue?
But after this there is the OS prompt with no changes to feed an answer to parted. More over, if I run it without -s:
parted /dev/sdb unit MiB resizepart 1 307199
I'm getting this:
Warning: Partition /dev/sdb1 is being used. Are you sure you want to continue?
Yes/No? Yes
End? [102399MiB]?
I'm not sure why am I being asked about End, if it was already provided on the command line above, can you explain?
Here is some more diagnostic commands:
# parted -v
parted (GNU parted) 3.3

parted /dev/sdb unit MiB print

The end goal is to be able to continue using this in a script, that is without human input at the runtime.
