# Exercise 1: Use the parted command to create a new GPT partition table on a disk (e.g., /dev/sdb) 
# and then create a new primary partition using 30% of the available space. 
# Format this partition with the XFS file system.
#
# Task: Create GPT partition table, partition, and format with XFS.
#
# WARNING: This will erase all data on the disk. Use with caution!
