Use parted to mount disks larger than 2T in Linux

The normal mount disk under Linux is fdisk, but Fdisk does not support GPT partition (MBR partition table only supports 2T disk), so the disk to be mounted is larger than 2T to use parted for GPT disk operation!

Parted function is very powerful, both command line can also be used for interactive, at the prompt input parted will enter the interactive mode, if there are multiple disks, you need to run select SdX (x is disk) to choose the disk, you can also directly use parted/dev/ SDX specify the appropriate hard drive ~

The whole process is as follows:

     parted /dev/vdc    ( Partition the 3T hard drive with the part command)     mklabel gpt        ( Use GPT format to get 3TB in one partition)     unit TB             (set to TB)     mkpart logical 0 2  (set to a primary partition, size 3TB, start is 0, End is 3)     print                (show partition size for settings)     quit                 (Exit parted program)         MKFS.EXT4  /dev/vdc1   (after executing the above command, use Fdisk -l to view the disks that have been divided)     MOUNT /DEV/VDC1  /home
