bug#26464: Can not use mklabel filesystem specification feature |

I'm trying to use the possibility of mkpart to specify the file system type,
with the non interactive interface (--script)
First point is pure documentary :
https://www.gnu.org/software/parted/manual/parted.html#mkpart indicates :
mkpart [part-type fs-type name] start end
man mkpart indicates:
mkpart [part-type name fs-type] start end
name and fstype have been switched between the two docs.
All versions 3.2 !??
Anyways, it seems that using the name always fail
Second point :
I expect this line
#parted --script /dev/sda unit s mkpart primary ext4 2048 208896
to create a partition with a file system set as ext4.
I don't expect it to be initialized, but just to have the display like :
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 2048s 208896s 206849s primary ext4 lba
Instead I get this :
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 1049kB 107MB 106MB primary
Now using the commdand console interface everything is ok :
# parted /dev/sda
GNU Parted 3.2
Using /dev/sda
Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands.
(parted) unit s mkpart primary ext4 2048 208896
(parted) p
Model: ATA ST32000641AS (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 3907029168s
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Disk Flags:
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 2048s 208896s 206849s primary ext4 lba
This should be part of an automated workflow.
I've also tested things like
echo "unit s mkpart primary ext4 2048 208896 q" | parted --script /dev/sda
and
parted --script /dev/sda <<< "unit s mkpart primary ext4 2048 208896 q"
without success.
It also fails without --script.
What am I missing ?
Regards,
Pierre
