fdisk - partition size limitation? 2006-01-12 - By danci@(protected)

Hello,
does 'fdisk' have an implicit limitation in maximum size of a partition it
can create? Or is this a deeper problem, originating from 'msdos'
partition labels?
I have a 5TB disk storage, which is currently setup to present all that
space as one volume. I can make a filesystem using a whole disk
(/dev/sdc), but I prefer using partitions.
But it seems like there is some 32-bit issue with fdisk - I can't create
paritions larger then '145814' cylinders (which is 1171245312 blocks or
63-2342490687 sectors).
If I use 'sector' units fdisk allows the maximum number 2147483647...
I'm sure some of you have storages larger than 2TB - how do you use them?
Thanks, Danilo
