I'm currently looking for alternatives to graphical programs for partitioning my hard drive. So I'm searching for an easy command line tool for it. Since my hard drive has a GPT partition table the best choice I have are the interactive gdisk program or its command-line equivalent sgdisk.
When creating a new partition, gdisk automatically name it. By default the partition type GUID is "Linux filesystem" (8300) and when applying this flag gdisk also name the partition "Linux filesystem".
I usually use Gparted and when creating an unformatted partition Gparted also apply the "Linux filesystem" partition type GUID by default but doesn't name the partition. The name column stays blank.
So is there a way with gdisk to create an unformatted partition without naming it ? I know fdisk and sfdisk now support GPT, so if it's impossible to do with gdisk is it with fdisk ?
Obviously I'm on a Linux machine with Debian 10.
Edit: Ok so apparently sgdisk doesn't change the name of the partition by just using the -n parameter so I remove it from the title but my question is still valid for gdisk.
