Re: Quick question about parted/fdisk for 2TB disks.

The problem with fdisk is probably that you have DOS compatibility
mode (when not using -c), it should also be set in sector mode (-u
option) which will eliminate those useless warning.

You could always use gdisk for GPT partition table instead, which
above 2TB is a most anyway.
