In virtualbox, add a new hard drive to some guest OS. Login to the guest OS, and you discover the new device, /dev/sdb mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb Simple as that. Filesystem directly on the raw device. No fdisk or gparted. In fact, there's an often-encountered limitation of partitioning. The 2TB barrier. Some partition schemes can handle it, some can't.
