Hi Adam,

Thanks for your contribution to the plugin.

A blank partition can already be created without the extra-partition plugin.

Personally, I use the following example line in my WKS file:

part --fstype=ext4 --label data --fixed-size 500M

This command creates a blank 500MB partition with an ext4 filesystem.

In my opinion, the extra plugin should always requires files, similar to the bootimg partition plugin (on which the extra partition plugin is based).

Pierre-Loup,
