Sorry . This way NOT work due to disk large than 2TB. That is reason I use "parted" instead of "fdisk". # fdisk /dev/sde WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sde'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted. The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 382536. There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024, and could in certain setups cause problems with: 1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO) 2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK) WARNING: The size of this disk is 3.1 TB (3146466197504 bytes). DOS partition table format can not be used on drives for volumes larger than 2.2 TB (2199023255040 bytes). Use parted(1) and GUID partition table format (GPT).
