I've a new Seagate FireCuda 4T HDD connected to the desktop via a SATA/USB adapter.
Tailing /var/log/messages the kernel sees this disk as /dev/sdg. I ran `cgdisk /dev/sdg' and it told me it did not have GPT as the partition type, but would try to fix that. Assuming that to be the case, I created 3 partitions, wrote them to disk, quit cgdisk, then ran `mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/sdg' to completion. Now, `fdisk -l' shows: Disk /dev/sdg: 3.7 TiB, 4000787030016 bytes, 7814037168 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes with no disklabel type. And, `cgdisk /dev/sdg' shows it to be unparitioned. What have I missed here? TIA, Rich
