How to create a partition on a new 6tb hdd on debian os?
by blooperx3 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5AJRG)
Using docking station.
Lsblk: sda
Looking to create 1 partition using ext4, encrypt it using LUKS, and then transfer lots of data over to it.
This is what I have found - would be great to obtain the exact command line command(s) or what to do with gparted in GUI.
Code:
1- sudo fdisk dev/sdx
---- cannot work with larger than xyz, use GPT"
2- gparted GUI:
---- can't have partition outside the disk" (cancel/ignore) = chose ignore
---- can't have overlapping partitions (cancel/ignore) = chose ignore
----- libparted bug":
------------ Assertion (metadata_length > 0) at ../../../libparted/labels/dos.c:2313 in function add_logical_part_metadata () failed (NO only option)
3- sudo sfdisk: will create a new DOS disk label
4- sudo parted dev/sdx:
------ create a new disk label (partition table)"
------------ = mklabel,mktable LABEL-TYPE
------ make partition: mkpart PART-TYPE [FS-TYPE) start end"
