Partitioning method larger than 2T under Linux

First, we introduce 2 kinds of partition tables:
MBR partition table: (MBR meaning: Master boot record)
Maximum supported volumes: 2T (T; terabytes,1tb=1024gb)
limit the partition: up to 4 primary partitions or 3 primary partitions plus one extended partition.

GPT partition table: (GPT meaning: GUID partition table)
Maximum volume Supported: 18EB, (E:EXABYTES,1EB=1024TB)
supports up to 128 partitions per disk

use parted to create partitions larger than 2T in size
1,parted/dev/sdb
You can enter p to print disk information, view the partition, and find the start and end locations.
2,mklabel GPT
set partition type to GPT
3,mkpart Primary 0 1572860
primary refers to the partition type as the primary partition, 0 is the start of the partition, and 1572860 is the end of the partition.
4,quit
quit with the QUIT command after completion.
