You can't use an MBR partition table on a volume that large there is a max 2TB disk size limit and 2TB partition size limit for MBR, so you must use GPT.
For completeness' sake, MBR=master boot record, not a partition table. The standard type of partition table is msdos. And, yes, it cannot handle devices >2TiB.
There is a real lack of reliable and easy GPT tools under Linux, parted can read GPT partition tables, but I do not believe it can create them AFAIK.
Incorrect. parted has no issue creating and managing gpt disklabels. -- Joshua Baker-LePain QB3 Shared Cluster Sysadmin UCSF _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
