Hello, I'm trying to call parted from a ShellScript to get details from
block devices:

$ parted /dev/OneDevice print

But when I specify a removable device, it expects user interaction:
Error: Error opening /dev/OneDevice: No medium found
Retry/Cancel?

Is there any way to avoid this and get only the error message and status?

Thanks.

Use script mode:

parted -s /dev/blah print

Any user interaction will take the 'safe' choice, not changing any data.

I'm receiving answers from many people but neither a subject [prefix]
nor arecipient seems related to the software project they are talking about.

Can you unsubscribe me from this chaotic thread?
