I used cfdisk but I dont seem to be getting the full 3TB partitions for each

thanks very mucjh for your help.
I followed your instructions and arrived at a formatted /dev/md0 HOWEVER
the resulting partition seem to be about ~9 times smaller than required.
I use 6 x3TB disks; And using cfdisk it reports that ~800GBytes is used for
Linux Raid autodetect partition type the remaining 2.1TByte seems to be
unused. Consequently when I formatted /dev/md0 I get 2404704 Mbytes (i.e.
2.4 TB fr thje whole array as opposed to some 18 TB).
advice (on how to get {{ full "Linux RAID autodetect"}} for 3TB partitions
will be much appreciated.
Yours sincerely
