If you attempt to create a partition larger than 2 TB using fdisk it doesn’t work, so instead you will need to use parted.
To create the partition, run parted as root.
(parted) mklabel gpt
(parted) mkpart primary 0 -1
(parted) set 1 lvm on
The label needs to be gpt if it’s larger than 2 TB. The second line allows you to use the whole disk for the partition. The last line enables LVM. You can opt not to use LVM if you’d like.
