RHEL 6.5 partition 3TB harddisk using gparted
For my senario,the fdisk -l shows 3TB hdd connected as /dev/sdb
1. So started parted using ,
parted /dev/sdb
2. create gpt disk label,
mklabel gpt
3. change unit to TB
unit TB
4. create 3TB partition
mkpart primary 0.00TB 3.00TB
5. fdisk -l , shows that a new partition /dev/sdb1 is created of 3TB in size
5. To format as EXT4 filesystem,
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1
