How do I create a swap partition using command line gparted? (parted)
I've managed to create a partition but I can't seem to set the partition to Linux swap / Solaris.
I've tried
mkpart extended linux-swap -512MB -1s
// -> Error: Invalid number.
&
mkpart extended linux-swap(v1) -512MB -1s
// -> Error: Invalid number.
&
mkpart
type: extended
Start: -512MB
End: -1s
// this works, but I can't set the FS-TYPE
// help page
(parted) help mkpart
mkpart PART-TYPE [FS-TYPE] START END make a partition
PART-TYPE is one of: primary, logical, extended
FS-TYPE is one of: zfs, btrfs, nilfs2, ext4, ext3, ext2, fat32, fat16, hfsx, hfs+, hfs, jfs, swsusp, linux-swap(v1), linux-swap(v0), ntfs,
reiserfs, freebsd-ufs, hp-ufs, sun-ufs, xfs, apfs2, apfs1, asfs, amufs5, amufs4, amufs3, amufs2, amufs1, amufs0, amufs, affs7, affs6, affs5,
affs4, affs3, affs2, affs1, affs0, linux-swap, linux-swap(new), linux-swap(old)
START and END are disk locations, such as 4GB or 10%. Negative values count from the end of the disk. For example, -1s specifies exactly the
last sector.
'mkpart' makes a partition without creating a new file system on the partition. FS-TYPE may be specified to set an appropriate partition ID.

If you already have the partition created, I think you can use "mkswap" instead of "mkpart".
