hello room i want to permanent mount my extra 15999.8GB disk space any idea and how to?

fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sdb: 15998.8 GB, 15998753177600 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1945070 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x000abb9c

First you need to partition it, then format it, then you can add it to /etc/fstab to auto-mount. Do you know what filesystem type you want to use?

hello

most Linux partition is ext4 right if so i want ext4 partition

thank you

More information...what distro of Linux is this?

Hello

I am run Redhat 6.7

You'll need to use parted, since fdisk doesn't support partitions larger than 2 TB. If you like you can use gparted to do it, or you can do it on the command line:
2048 sector offset is usually good, but you can verify using this as a guide:
http://rainbow.chard.org/2013/01/30/...-using-parted/

Then build the filesystem with:
You're right at the 16 TB limit of 32-bit ext4, so if it complains you may have to switch it to 64-bit.

my OS is 64-bit if i use 32-bit partitions would not has a problems?

thank you

It has nothing to do with your processor architecture.

this is what I put in fstab for my extra LT/HDD.

I created a directory in /media ~ called data then add this to my fstab, then sudo mount -a after all of the formating stuff of course.


its that simple

What does -1 mean in the parted command?

mkpart part-type [fs-type] start end
indicating the entire HDD

Isn't the whole hdd 0 100%?

Yes, -1 is a shortcut, it does the same thing as 100%.

If you are going to put the entire disk in one partition, you have no need to partition it.

hello
I following steps by steps ran the command on my test BOX (my LIVE SERVER Disk /dev/sdb: 15998.8 GB, 15998753177600 bytes) following error on my output please help
thank you
