Hello All!  I have multiple RHEL 5.5 boxes, and Iâm trying to partition out (cut up) our 2.2 TB of storage on each one. However, neither Parted or Fdisk will allow it on any of the RHEL 5.5 boxes. (We do have 20 RHEL 4.0 boxes, and it works perfectly on those.) Given it works fine with RHEL 4,0, I assume this is a bug with RHEL 5.5?  Hereâs the problem:  Iâve used GPT and msdos tables with this.  Disk /dev/sdb: 2247GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: gpt  Number Start End Size File system Name Flags  (parted) mkpart primary ext3 1024 73000 (parted) mkpart primary ext3 60000 560000 (parted) mkpart primary ext3 560000 999999 (parted) mkpart extended ext3 999999 2143360 Now we have: Number Start End Size File system Name Flags Â1 1024MB 60.0GB 59.0GB primary Â2 60.0GB 560GB 500GB primary Â3 ÂÂÂ560GB 1000GB 440GB primary Â4 1000GB 2143GB 1143GB extended At this point, I canât do anything else. I try to create logical drives out of the extended, like so:  I type in: (parted) mkpart logical ext3 999999 1400000  And I get back this error: (parted) mkpart logical ext3 999999 1400000 Warning: You requested a partition from 1000GB to 1400GB. The closest location we can manage is 2143GB to 2143GB. Is this still acceptable to you? Yes/No?  And it doesnât matter what I type on that (parted) line, it always comes back with this same error message.  Again, this works fine in RHEL 4. But just wonât work on any of our RHEL 5.5.  Anyone have any ideas on this? Is perhaps RHEL 5.5 expecting something else on the command line? Or perhaps know of a patch that resolves this?  Thanks to you all for the help.  Anne M.  Rebate Systems of Southern California Systems and Integration    -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
