Seems like I accidentally deleted the last sentence. When I try the second chunk of commands, I get a invalid option error.

Dear GNU
I found the following command op the internet:
root@localhost #
parted -a optimal /dev/sda
(parted)
unit mib
(parted)
mkpart primary 515 -1
However, when I try to turn it into a part of a script like this:
root@localhost #
parted --script /dev/sda mkpart primary 515 -1

You need to pass -- so that the argument parser won't try to turn -1
into an option:
parted --script -- /dev/sda mkpart primary 515 -1
