Hello comrades!
Actually, the essence of the issue is in the topic.
Now I'm trying to develop a script that "flashes" a new virtual machine in a "golden" way.
Difficulty in disk partitioning. fdisk does not allow you to do everything through the command line. parted allows, but it has its own nuances. Is there an analogue of fdisk, only working without interactivity?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you all! sfdisk turned out to be the most suitable for my purposes.
