sudo fdisk /dev/sdh

WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sdh'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted.


WARNING: The size of this disk is 8.0 TB (8001563221504 bytes).
DOS partition table format can not be used on drives for volumes
larger than (2199023255040 bytes) for 512-byte sectors. Use parted(1) and GUID
partition table format (GPT).


The device presents a logical sector size that is smaller than
the physical sector size. Aligning to a physical sector (or optimal
I/O) size boundary is recommended, or performance may be impacted.

Command (m for help): q

user@storbox2419:~$ sudo gdisk /dev/sdh
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.8

Partition table scan:
  MBR: MBR only
  BSD: not present
  APM: not present
  GPT: present

Found valid MBR and GPT. Which do you want to use?
 1 - MBR
 2 - GPT
 3 - Create blank GPT

Your answer: 1

Disk /dev/sdh: 15628053167 sectors, 7.3 TiB
Logical sector size: 512 bytes
Disk identifier (GUID): D09B1DC2-7324-4D04-9EFA-7F2C0581B8FA
Partition table holds up to 128 entries
First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 15628053133
Partitions will be aligned on 8-sector boundaries
Total free space is 11333216875 sectors (5.3 TiB)

Command (? for help): wq

Final checks complete. About to write GPT data. THIS WILL OVERWRITE EXISTING
PARTITIONS!!

Do you want to proceed? (Y/N): y
OK; writing new GUID partition table (GPT) to /dev/sdh.
Warning: The kernel is still using the old partition table.
The new table will be used at the next reboot.
The operation has completed successfully.
