Creates a new partition, without creating a new file system on that partition. This is useful for creating partitions for file systems (or LVM, etc.) that Parted doesn't support. You may specify a file system type, to set the appropriate partition code in the partition table for the new partition. fs-type is required for data partitions (i.e., non-extended partitions). start and end are the offset from the beginning of the disk, that is, the "distance" from the start of the disk.
part-type is one of: primary, extended, logical. Extended and logical are only used for msdos and mips disk labels.
fs-type must be on of these supported file systems:
Example:
(parted) mkpart logical 0.0 692.1
Create a logical partition that will contain an ext2 filesystem. The partition will start at the beginning of the disk, and end 692.1 megabytes into the disk.
