[Techtalk] xfs repartitioning 2

[James Sutherland]

Hi Meryll,

Fortunately, the poster here happened to be doing something similar to 
you: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=160815

(More specifically, Zzipo wanted a 3 Tb partition, and as you've 
discovered the older MBR tools only support a maximum of 2.)

This bit will create you one 3Tb partition named "media", the changes to 
make four 20Tb ones instead should be obvious:

$ parted /dev/sda
(parted) mklabel gpt
(parted) unit TB
(parted) mkpart primary 0.00TB 3.00TB
(parted) name 1 media
(parted) print
number     start     end     size file     system     name flags
1    0.00TB    3.00TB    3.00TB        media
(parted) quit



James.
