There's your answer. This drive is using a dos partition table, not
GPT. But there's some info where the GPT would be that is confusing
parted.
└sdb1 931.51g [8:17] Empty/Unknown
As you can see, this partition entry is rational.
Try displaying the partition table with fdisk instead of parted.
Here is what fdisk says:
Disk /dev/sdb: 931.5 GiB, 1000204886016 bytes, 244190646 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 4096 = 4096 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x19e6cd02
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sdb1 * 2048 1953523711 1953521664 7.3T fd Linux raid autodetect
Note the discrepancy between the disk size and the partition size.
It seems the end sector for partition /dev/sdb1 is incorrect and should
be 244190646 or 244190645 depending on how sectors are numberd that is
if there is a sector 0 or it starts at 1.
