linux raid5 大于2t,rhel5.4下用fdisk无法生成超过2T的分区

1、查询sdb相关信息(注：sdb是由7块sisc450G做raid5,共有2.2T，其中1T挂载在/opt目录下。现在想

将剩下空间分配到sdb2；sda是一块SISC，450G的硬盘，主要用于安装操作系统。)

[root@csc-document dev]# fdisk -l /dev/sdb

WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sdb'! The util fdisk doesn't support

GPT. Use GNU Parted.

2、fdisk /dev/sdb(新建分区sdb2)

[root@csc-document dev]# fdisk /dev/sdb

WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sdb'! The util fdisk doesn't support

GPT. Use GNU Parted.

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 273240.

There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,

and could in certain setups cause problems with:

1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)

2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs

(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

[root@csc-document dev]#

3、查询/dev下无法找到sdb2

[root@csc-document dev]# ls -l /dev|grep sdb

brw-r-----  1 root disk   8,    16 Oct 10 15:23 sdb

brw-r-----  1 root disk   8,    17 Oct  9 16:17 sdb1

不知问题出在哪里？

解决方法：

最后用prated，主要是超过2T的硬盘不可以用fdisk来进行分区，必须得用parted.

[root@csc-document dev]# parted /dev/sdb

GNU Parted 1.8.1

Using /dev/sdb

Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands.

(parted) mkpart

Partition name?  []? ora

File system type?  [ext2]? ext3

Start? 1050G

End? 2247G

(parted) q

Information: Don't forget to update /etc/fstab, if necessary.

(parted) print

Model: DELL PERC 6/i (scsi)

Disk /dev/sdb: 2247GB

Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B

Partition Table: gpt

1      17.4kB  1049GB  1049GB  ext3

2      1050GB  2247GB  1197GB  ext3         ora

接着对其进行格式化：

[root@csc-document dev]# mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sdb2

创建目录：

[root@csc-document /]# mkdir ora

挂载到ora目录下：

[root@csc-document /]# mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb2 /ora

[root@csc-document /]# vi /etc/fstab

LABEL=/                 /                       ext3    defaults        1 1

LABEL=/opt1             /opt                    ext3    defaults        1 2

LABEL=/boot             /boot                   ext3    defaults        1 2

tmpfs                   /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0

devpts                  /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0

sysfs                   /sys                    sysfs   defaults        0 0

proc                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0

LABEL=SWAP-sda3         swap                    swap    defaults        0 0

/dev/sdb2               /ora                    ext3    defaults        0 0

OK！至此完成！
