gparted makes it a lot easier. If you want to be sure of the sector size look for an st... number then go to seagate.com and get a datasheet. 2048 seems small for a 1 TB drive, my 128 GB SD card uses 4096. Actually I'm not sure, this is a 1 TB Seagate and disklabel says: type: ESDI disk:

I just log in as root, it's much simpler. If you don't know the root password just do sudo passwd and set one. Yes, I know you should never log in as root. I've been doing it for 20 years anyway. I don't think a window manager or whatever these things call themselves these days cares about

The infinite loop is still there with gcc-7. I've created bug #876825. Before you exclude armel, you could perhaps try doing something about this warning, which is given not just on armel and may or may not be related to the compiler going into an infinite loop: energy.c:539:104: warning:
