Re: Formatting a large disk

[Von Landfried <centos.list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had this same issue with 'fdisk' when I installed it on a server with 12TB of space RAID'd down to 6TB. Just use 'parted' and it will solve your problems.

I need to install Centos on a machine with 3tb raid disk. (3 ware raid card) Could someone in the list suggest a utility for partition this disk. I would like to have the whole disk in 1 partition and format it for ext3. The default partitioning utility doesn’t do this. The OS sits on another SATA disk and each time during the installation it doesn’t format the full disk which is 3TB.

 

Could someone suggest another disk partitioning utility (other than fdisk) please?

 

Thanks
