It's not an Xmas present as it was bought a few weeks ago, but I'm
trying to install a 10TB WD (Red Pro) disk and it's not exactly going
to plan.
My original plan was to put the disk into an external case, plug it in
to format and copy over files, then install it in the case.
The system already has an SSD as /dec/sda, and two disks one of 3TB
and the other of 4TB, all working fine.
When I attach the external drive, lsblock and fdisk -l both report TWO
new drives, /dev/sdd and /dev/sde, both of 2TB size. I went into set
the disk from DOS to GPT but the size didn't change;
Now fdisk -l reports:
Disk /dev/sdd: 2 TiB, 2199023255040 bytes, 4294967295 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
Disklabel type: gpt
Disk identifier: 49FDD63D-6C95-46F0-B7B1-650038D8FB9B
Disk /dev/sde: 2 TiB, 2199023255040 bytes, 4294967295 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
And cat /proc/scsi/scsi reports:
Host: scsi10 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: WDC WD10 Model: 1KFBX-68R56N0 Rev: 0200

Vendor: WDC WD10 Model: 1KFBX-68R56NLUN1 Rev: 0200

The disk model is WD101KFBX and its specs can be found here.

of the online guides I've consulted say that the full capacity of the
drive should be visible once I switch it to GPT mode.
Is this a USB limitation? Or is there something else I need to change?
I've attached the output of hwinfo if that's any help.
Thanks for any suggestions!
Your using fdisk right. There is a version for GPT disks called gdisk
and you may want to try
that or a GUI program like gparted.
