Resolution

경고: This process involves modifications to the partitions on the hard drive and there is a chance of data loss. A best practice is to back up all data on the system before beginning this process.

Users may want to create a Linux partition that is larger than 2 Terabytes (TB) on a secondary hard drive. The default partition methods in Linux have a 2-Terabyte limitation. The following process was tested using the versions of Linux listed below and may be valid for other distributions of Linux.

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux(RHEL) Versions 5.3, 6.0, and 6.1.
  • Fedora: Versions 14, 15, and 16.
  • CentOS 버전 4.0 이상
  • Ubuntu: 버전 4.0 이상

Follow the process below to create a Linux partition that is larger than 2 Terabytes on a secondary hard drive.

  1. Linux의 Terminal을 엽니다. An example can be found in this link: Dell 컴퓨터에서 Ubuntu Linux 터미널을 사용하는 방법
  2. At the command line, type in the command of "su" and enter the root password to log in to the root account.

    1. Note that the "mkpart" command makes a partition without creating a new file system on the partition.
    2. Note that you use the correct numbers for the start and end of the partition that you intend to create. Using the example numbers of "0" and "3800G" will create a partition from 0.0 megabytes to 3,800,000 megabytes.
  6. You may receive a notice stating that the current partition is not in alignment with the file system Ignore/Cancel.
    1. If so, type in the command "I" to Ignore and press the "Enter" key.
