Note that I never used gparted to work with gpt, I always used gdisk because honestly I found it easier to do.Īgain, it's recommended to use gdisk directly to do this. You have to fully redo the disk, set it to gpt, which this fairly good explanation walks you through. This is a silly little hack and shouldn’t be necessary.
Partitions an “extended partition” and create logical partitions Partitions-if you want more, you have to make one of your primary MBR also only supports up to four primary Assuming this is correct re mbr vs gpt size limits (I"ve never run > 1 tB disks personally so I'm a touch behind on this)
So here you'd want to ensure that gpart as well as gdisk is installed, for example, but note, if I remember gparted right, you won't see gpt as an option if the disk has already been set to use mbr type, you have to go in an redo it totally. Suggests: xfsprogs, reiserfsprogs, reiser4progs, jfsutils, ntfs-3g, dosfstools, mtools, yelp, kpartx, dmraid, dmsetup, gpart Using fat on a 4 tB disk results in massive sectors, and a huge waste of space, particularly for smaller files, plus as you discovered, it only sees part of the disk space. Then check your disk tool again and you should see the option active.
Your exfat option is almost certainly grayed out because you don't have the required packages installed to use exfat: apt-get update & apt-get install exfat-utils exfat-fuse
