Linux on disk partition formatting greater than 2T

Occasionally, disks larger than 2T are encountered, and because the MBR partition table supports only 2T disks, disks larger than 2T must use GPT partitioned tables.

        GPT: Globally unique identity partition table GPT format disk is equivalent to the original MBR disk in the original reserved 4 partition table 4*16 bytes, leaving only the first 16 bytes, similar to the extended partition, the real partition table after 512 bytes, GPT disk does not have four primary partition limit.

    fdisk is not supported for GPT partitions, we can use parted to operate on GPT disks.

-I,--interactive prompts the user when necessary
-S,--script never prompt the user
-V,--version display version

Command:
Check the MINOR for a simple check of the file system
CP [From-device] From-minor to-minor Copying the file system to another partition
Help [command] print general assistance information, or information about the command
MklabelLabel type create a new disk label(partition Table)
MKFS MINOR file system type in MINOR creates a file system of type "file system type"
MkpartPartition type [file system type] Start point termination pointCreate a partition
MKPARTFS partition type file system type start point end point Create a partition with a file system
Move MINOR start point moving the partition numbered MINOR
Name MINOR names the partition with number MINOR named "Name"
Print[MINOR]Print partition table, or partition
Quit quitting the program
Rescue start point end point saves missing partitions near "start point", "End point"
Resize MINOR Start point change the size of the file system in the partition numbered MINOR
