I have installed 14.04 on a new machine
I installed a new raid card (9740-8i) and I created a RAID 5 array on 3x4TB drives which is correctly seen by the system.
I now need to partition and format the drive so that it is seen as a single 8TB (actually 7+) drive which I will share via Samba.
It's been years since I've done this and clearly I'm doing it wrong.
I ran:
parted /dev/sdc mklabel gpt
parted /dev/sdc mkpart primary ext4 1 -1
I'm getting an error on the '1'
I was then going to run:
sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sdc1
So, quite simply: What commands do I run to end up with an ext4 '8TB' drive under 14.04?
Thanks, everyone.
