I create a RAID 1 driver with six 2TB disks.The size of this driver is 6.0 TB.Fdisk which I use usually to create partitions doesn’t support this big driver.When I run fdisk -l,the output messages suggest I can use Parted to create partitions on it.
Here are the steps:
#parted /dev/sdb
###type “help” to get tips
(parted) help
(parted) mkpart
Partition name? []?
File system type? [ext2]? ext3
Start? 1
End? 5997GB
(parted) quit
#make ext3 file system
#mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1
#mount /dev/sdb1 /data
#vi /etc/fstab
#add this line
/dev/sdb1 /data ext3 defaults 1 2
#save and quit
