studen@rubens:~$ sudo fdisk /dev/sda Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.33.1). Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them. Be careful before using the write command. The size of this disk is 3.7 TiB (4000787030016 bytes). DOS partition table format cannot be u sed on drives for volumes larger than 2199023255040 bytes for 512-byte sectors.
