That's not a problem with cgdisk.
That was why I had to use cgdisk. The drive is large. I think cfdisk spit out a error or something. I'm to old and it was to long ago. lol On my other disks, I'm not sure I had even heard of cgdisk when I set them up. >> Sort >> of slowly switch over as I can.

At least I know now if I run cfdisk on a drive that I am supposed to use cgdisk on, I'll get a notice. Thanks for that tidbit. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...
