xfs_growfs doesn't grow on 2TB raid

[Michael Monnerie]

Sorry for top-posting, only have Outlook on my notebook.

 

Isn’t 2TB the normal partition size limit? So if you want >2TB partitions, you must use GPT partitioning, “parted” can create such partitions but not fdisk. AFAIK there is no option to simply change a disk from normal partitions to GPT without backup/repartition/restore.
