On line util-linux/disk-utils/sfdisk.8.adoc Line 423 in 224410d shouln't this be *echo -e ',10M,L\n,10M,L\n,+,\n' | sfdisk /dev/sdc*::? Or even without +? BTW, does an empty line work (*echo -e ',10M,L\n,10M,L\n\n' | sfdisk /dev/sdc*::)?

Yes, good catch. ",,+" is nonsense, "+" is there to address all available space (size)., so it should be ",+,\n" (as you have in your example). The empty line is silently ignored, it just repeats a prompt like a normal shell. It's probably the best we can do to make it user-friendly ;-) |

Wouldn't ',,\n' or even ',\n' be enough then? I get that understanding from the following sentence in the manual : " Note '+' is equivalent to the default behaviour for a new partition". Thanks for your time. |

Yes, ',,\n' is supported, but for man-page is probably better to be more verbose :-) |
