That's why parted returns error - it does not deal with the filesystem. But this point is moot, since nobody is going to use a partition without a filesystem inside.
May 2	comment	How do I name a partition? On MBR, labels are stored inside the filesystem, provided that the filesystem supports a label. You can use filesystem-specific tools, like e2label, or Gparted, that runs them for you.

Aug 14	comment	Are there any problems if I install an old version of a Linux distro? You're right. I asked a friend meanwhile, and he gave me the same answer.
