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
Using /dev/sda

(parted) mklabel gpt
Warning: The existing disk label on /dev/sda will be destroyed and all data on this disk
will be lost. Do you want to continue?
Yes/No? yes

Is this still acceptable to you?
