1. 使用parted命令分区超过2TB容量的裸设备
# parted /dev/sdb
GNU Parted 2.1
Using /dev/sdb
Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands.
(parted) print
Model: IBM VirtualDisk (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdb: 3597GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
(parted) help
(parted) mklabel gpt
(parted) mkpart
Partition name? []? 直接回车
File system type? [ext2]? ext4
Start? 1 或 0%
End? 3597GB或100%
(parted) print

(parted) quit #注意,使用parted命令是直接对磁盘生效的,不像fdisk还有个w保存的机会,这里不给你反悔的机会直接生效了。
Information: You may need to update /etc/fstab.
2. 使用mkfs.ext4格式化已经做好的分区
我们先使用fdisk -l命令查看一下分区表的情况
# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 300.0 GB, 299966445568 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 36468 cylinders

快速格式化该分区的方法:
# mkfs.ext4 -T largefile /dev/sdb1

直接使用mkfs.ext4 格式化,不使用-T largefile参数的情况下,屏幕上会一直显示下面的信息,
