Re: Limitation of partition's capacity with Fdisk ?

Thanks Dave,
I'll have a look on Wiki to see how to configure a "gpt" disk!

Hardly any need to go that far.
You just use parted as suggested and set the partition table type to gpt.
Then it's just a matter of telling it what partitions you want as normal.
(the command if you use the CLI tool is mklabel)
All of the commands are listed with help <command> from the prompt.
