Add a new 8T disk to ubuntu with gpart.

1, find the disk name:

sudo fdisk -l

... Disk /dev/sdb: 7.3 TiB, 8001563222016 bytes, 15628053168 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 33553920 bytes ...

So the /dev/sdb is the disk I need.

2, use parted to make th patition:

sudo parted /dev/sdb

Make label:

mklabel gpt

Format all the disk

mkpart primary 0 -1

print

quit

3, Check and format

lsblk

Then format it:

sudo mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/sdb1

Now the disk is ready. The user of this disk is root, so I

4, change the owner:

cd /media/cheng/

ls -al

drwxr-xr-x 8 cheng root 4096 8月 10 09:37 2c11f2a4-d08c-44eb-93b8-70a1658ced81

drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 9月 1 13:45 fb49ce8d-832a-49d7-a402-aacef6dd4560

sudo chown cheng fb49ce8d-832a-49d7-a402-aacef6dd4560

Now the disk is installed in /media/cheng/fb49ce8d-832a-49d7-a402-aacef6dd4560
