[Mageia-dev] fdisk or gparted

[Richard Couture]

I'm trying to install MGA-2 on an 8TB logical drive provided by an lsi 
logic mega raid.

is the install using fdisk or gparted to partiton the disk now-a-days???

FDisk won't deal with more that 2TB

I went to the <ctl><alt><F2> console and can not find parted, only fdisk...
