You can not have a DOS partition larger than 2Tb. parted will create

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
I'm sure you meant /dev/yourdevice1, assuming that the first gpt paratition of
yourdevice is just appended a "1" like with old style dos partition (I've
only done this with lvm whole disks).
or 2 or 3 or ....
use the device name (without partition number) when you run parted. For
mke2fs use the device name (including the trailing number) for the
actual partition you want to fondle...whatever it happens to be on your
system.
Cheers,
