Not a huge amount to be honest, I'm not a fan of the old-style sending
characters to disk. Our scripts now use code like the line below to create
a new aligned GPT partition that essentially fills the disk. Just feels
easier to understand than the fdisk alternative.
parted -s -a optimal "$disk" mklabel gpt -- mkpart primary ext4 1MiB -2048s
