I get this error on the oracle linux installer.

Could not allocate requested partitions: not enough free space on disks

There is plenty of space and room for partitions. 

Have a 5 tb disk but the oracle installer seems to be limited to a little over 2 tb partition and I cannot create any other partitions or make this bigger.  I think it is related to a rh linux issue "The install cannot reach regions of the disk above 2.2TB without a GPT, since legacy MBR partition descriptors are only 32 bits. 2^32 blocks @512 bytes is only 2.2TB."  but I am not sure if this is the problem.

Howdy, Stranger!
