    Your using fdisk right. There is a version for GPT disks called

Tried that. gdisk also reports 2TB and refuses to create any partition larger than that.

While its stating that you have a sector size of 512 bytes which is odd. Most gpt drives should be 4096bytes per sector, I just double checked. So even if its gpt it may be doing it based on issues with other things, not sure if the computer or device your using at a firmware level supports 4K sectors but it seems maybe that should be checked. Its a common problem with larger drives, I've never run into it as the systems I have are almost all UEFI or later.
