My friend has a 6TB raid tower connected to his server. We are running ubuntu server
8.04.1. The device comes up as /dev/sda. When we try to open /dev/sda in cfdisk it says " Warning!! Unsupported GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected. Use GNU Parted." . So I decided to fire up parted. (also this guide is what I was trying to follow:
http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/fdisk-unable-to-create-partition-greater-2tb.html ) But when I open the device in parted, i get big problems. Here is an output of what I get:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/27604/ . I get this "stack smashing detected" error no matter which command I try to put in (that case it was print but I get the same thing when i try to mklabel gpt).
I'm wondering if it is a problem with parted, or a problem with my kernel not supporting gpt. (Although I think it does, I'm not 100% sure and didn't want to recompile his kernel)
Thanks in advance for any help! :)
