Problem: On Debian Linux the brand new 3TB SATA Drives only seen as 2TB Drives by fdisk
Background: GPT Partition Table must be used as new technology
Solution:
- install “gdisk” the GPT Tool for big Drives with #sudo aptitude install gdisk
- clean the new Drives first Table Headers with #sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb count=1 bs=512
- run now #sudo sgdisk /dev/sdb
- Command is “sgdisk” not “gdisk” = its Paket Name
- same on other Linux/BSD Systems on Windows use Paragon Tools
