I have a 24TB RAID6 disk with a GPT partition table on it. I need to partition it into 2 partitions one of 16TB and 1 of 8TB to put ext4 filesystems on both. But I really need to do this remotely. ( if I can get to the site I could use gparted )
Now fdisk doesn't understand GPT partition tables and pat
You have to use either parted or gparted, and as much as I prefer command line, parted is user hostile; gparted's just the gui on top of parted. It works fine, AFAIK, though I've only used it on 3TB drives.
I've used parted on 10TB and up disk arrays with no problems. I wouldn't call parted's CLI "hostile", but I would definitely suggest having the docs close by.
Hostile: I start parted up with -optimum, and it still doesn't set the default start for a partition by itself, nor does it suggest in any way, shape, or form what it wants you to do. You have to google to find out.
