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.

But with parted, no issues:

(parted) print Model: ATA WDC WD2001FASS-0 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 2000GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos

 2      32.0GB  32.1GB  134MB   primary  ext3            boot, raid
 3      32.1GB  2000GB  1968GB  primary  ext4            raid

(parted)

Only use parted for 2TB+?
