Last para : 2.2 Using GNU Parted

Parted will always warn you before doing something that is
potentially dangerous, unless it's something that's obviosuly
                                                    ^^^^^^^^^ 
*** This is obviously wrong :-)

dangerous (i.e. rm, mklabel, mkfs) For example, if you attempt to
shrink a partition "too much" (i.e. by more than the free space
available), Parted will automatically resize to the minimum it can
without losing data. If this minimum is significantly different, it
will warn you that it's doing something significanlty different to
what you asked. Since many partitioning systems have complicated
constraints, Parted will usually do something slightly different to
what you asked. (For example, create a partitiong starting at
                                       ^^^^^^^^^^

*** Should be partition, rather than partitiong

10.352, not 10.4)
