More than 2 TB storage partitions in linux-Linux Enterprise Application-Linux server application information. For details, refer to the following section. 1. How to Create a partition with a size greater than 2 TB?
Let's take a look at the two partition tables.
MBR Partition Table: (MBR meaning: Master Guide record)
Maximum supported volumes: 2 TB (T; terabytes, 1 TB = 1024 GB)
Limit on partitions: a maximum of four primary partitions or three primary partitions can be added with an extended partition (unlimited logical drives are supported in the extended partition)
GPT Partition Table: (GPT meaning: GUID partition table)
Maximum supported volume: 18EB, (E: exabytes, 1EB = 1024 TB)
Each disk supports a maximum of 128 partitions.
2. Use parted to create a partition with a size greater than 2 TB
Assume that/dev/sdb is a 7 TB storage device.
Parted/dev/sdb
Print to view the partition information and find the start position
For example:
Disk geometry for/dev/sdb 0.000-7766701.367 megabytes
Minor Start End Filesystem Name Flags
1 0.017 7766701.351
Set the partition type to gpt.
Mklabel gpt
Partition
Mkpart parmary 0 7766701.367
Primary refers to the primary partition type,
The numbers 0 and 7766701.367 correspond to the start and end positions obtained by the print command respectively.
Then, run the quit command to exit.
