Is there any good alternative to parted, that I can use in scripts? Parted main problem is that it requires user confirmation one each action.

Not something I've done before, but have you tried
fdisk?-
fdiskis completely interactive, not suitable for scripting.sfdiskis a "scriptable fdisk".-
Even the manpage Telorand linked mentions it by name for non-interactive use.
Also, make sure you use the right program depending on thr partition table :
sgdiskis the right choice for GPT disks,sfdiskis for MBR.-
There are few
fdiskoptions that work non-interactively, like-l(list partitions). It is impossible to create or delete partitions this way.From the
sfdiskman page:Since version 2.26 sfdisk supports MBR (DOS), GPT, SUN and SGI disk labels
