okay, but add mklabel msdos before the mkpart (what used to be echo o in the fdisk command above).

@frostschutz: do you know if I can specify the "size" rather than the "end", like "+24G" in fdisk ?

@antonio parted does not support the +24G syntax. Closest you can get is using shell arithmetic instead so you can use something along the lines of parted ... $start $(($start+$size)).
