You can not have a DOS partition larger than 2Tb. parted will create
one and tell the kernel about the size which works.... until you
reboot and then the partition is 2Tb smaller than it should be because
the partition table can not store the MSB of your partition size.
The solution is to use LVM or GPT partitions.
Right.
The procedure should look something like this:
/sbin/parted /dev/yourdevice
(parted) mklabel gpt
(parted) print
Disk geometry for /dev/etherd/yourdevice: 0kB - 3001GB
Disk label type: gpt
(parted) mkpart primary 0 3001G
(parted) quit
Now build the filesystem. I normally use:
mke2fs -j -b 4096 /dev/yourdevice
(tap foot for a few minutes)
Now it should mount normally and you can uncomment out the entry for
that device in /etc/fstab.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
