sfdisk - partition creation problem

  • 772

I'm trying to create disk image with 2 partitions: First partition: 1Mb for boot and second partition of the maximum capacity

  dd if=/dev/zero of=flash.img bs=1M count=10
  /sbin/sfdisk flash.img -uM << SFDISK_EOF
,1,L,*
,,L;
SFDISK_EOF

I got an error: 

sfdisk: I don't like these partitions - nothing changed.

What I'm doing wrong?

I'm working with CentOS

linux partition dd fdisk

    Why don't you use something more user-friendly like cfdisk? It's not really supposed to be used outside of a script.
