This exemplifies the problem with FOSS software and the "here's the
recipe on how to fix it" culture, . Don't get me wrong, I'm not
throwing blame around, I just want to say that:
1. Instead of posting "recipes" on how to fix limitations of the
software, it'd be MUCH MORE helpful to FIX THE UNDERLYING PROBLEMS
with the software, so that:
a. A BUG REPORT ON FDISK is entered, so that:
* It works correctly on drives bigger than 2TB, or
* (interim solution) it displays a user-friendly message telling the user
that for big drives as (the current drive size) gparted is the right way to
partition to avoid limitations in the FDISK software.
b. FILE A BUG on the automount routines, it should automount such
drive just like those partitioned with FDISK.
