How to partition 16TB space

edited Dec 31, 2013 6:03AM in Linux Operating System (MOSC) 9 commentsAnswered
I have a new server with 6 4TB disks to utilize in a new 11.2.0.3 dataguard server.  One disk is a hot spare and remaining 5 are in 1 Raid 5 virtual disk, /dev/sdb (16TB).  I'm not sure how to partition it because of the 2TB limitation of fdisk.  I've read that one alternative is to use parted with a gpt label.  Is that supported and/or recommended?  The /boot fs is on a separate device (/dev/sda).   Thanks. 

Howdy, Stranger!
