1. Physically install the hard drive.
After installing the drive, check that the BIOS detected your new drive with the correct size.When I do this I get an error similar to: "WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sda'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted."
2. Identify the device
Also check the device has been detected by linux and identify the device name.root@turtle:~# ls /dev/sd*
/dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda5 /dev/sdb
This shows a hard drive 'sda' with existing partitions sda1, sda2 and sda5. It also shows a hard drive
'sdb', but with no partitions detected. The new hard drive will have no partitions, so we can identify it
as device 'sdb'3. fdisk is not an option
root@kilo:~# fdisk /dev/sdb
Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel
Building a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0xbe043269.
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
After that, of course, the previous content won't be recoverable.
Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite)
WARNING: The size of this disk is 3.0 TB (3000592982016 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
It tells us to use
parted
with GPT format instead.4. parted with gpt label
Create a partition using GPT format. I've chosen to use just 1 large partition that uses the whole disk.root@kilo:~# parted /dev/sdb

5. Verify that the new partition appears as a device.
root@kilo:~# ls /dev/sd*
/dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda5 /dev/sdb /dev/sdb1
The new partition 'sdb1' has appeared6. Format the partition
I'm using the ext3 file system. Use mkfs to format the driveroot@kilo:~# mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1
