parted创建GPT分区

今天发现新服务器做lvm，没办法把分区转化为物理卷组

介绍2种分区表：
MBR分区表：（MBR含义：主引导记录）
所支持的最大卷：2T （T; terabytes,1TB=1024GB）
对分区的设限：最多4个主分区或3个主分区加一个扩展分区。

GPT分区表：（GPT含义：GUID分区表）
支持最大卷：18EB，（E：exabytes,1EB=1024TB）
每个磁盘最多支持128个分区

 

所以如果要大于2TB的卷或分区就必须得用GPT分区表。

 

Linux下fdisk工具不支持GPT，得使用另一个GNU发布的强大分区工具parted。

fdisk工具用的话，会有下面的警告信息：

WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sda'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted.

下面是用parted工具对/dev/sda做GPT分区的过程：

root@node01:/mnt# parted /dev/sda
GNU Parted 2.3
