Dear Sertaç,

I found your autopart.sh Gist. Nice!

It currently does not appear to have a license associated with it. I would like to use this code but only if it has an open source license. Would you be able to let me know what license this code is under? I’m a big fan of the MIT license if you are looking for suggestions. (See https://choosealicense.com/licenses/mit/ ).

Thanks!

Larry

Small mod for anyone curious if disk is already mounted it exits with error on line 122
