Commands can be typed either in English, or your native language (if
your language has been translated). This may create ambiguities.
Commands are case-insensitive.

If you don't give a parameter to a command, Parted will prompt you for it.

Parted will always warn you before doing something that is potentially
dangerous, unless the command is one of those that is inherently
-dangerous (viz., rm, mklabel and mkfs). For example, if you attempt to

Since many partitioning systems have complicated constraints, Parted will
usually do something slightly different to what you asked. (For example,
create a partition starting at 10.352Mb, not 10.4Mb)
If the calculated values differ too much, Parted will ask you for
confirmation.
-Currently ext3 filesystem functionality does not work. To manage ext3 type
-filesystems use tools like resize2fs or mke2fs. Note that the currently
-supported ext2 filesystem will be deprecated once ext3 support is finalized.
-Further note that ext3 support will have limited functionality that is yet
-to be defined. Use tools like resize2fs (8) and mke2fs (8) to manage these
