For LVM, the lvm2 package contains all the necessary tools. I know

Why use MSDOS partition tables at all? What about LVM or GUID Partitions?

You have to ignore the partition table contents for ending cylinder. Use
the following instead. You also
have to write your own FS or modify the partition code in Linux or you
won't be able to use the storage. This

With a Broadcom BC4852 and suitable Sata drives, it is easy to create
functional devices with well in excess of 2TB raw space. This presents a severe
problem to partitioning tools, such as fdisk/cfdisk and the like as the
kernel partition structure has a 32 bit integer max for sector counts
