Hi,
I've installed a large disk in a new machine and loaded Debian
(bookworm) on it, but it's showing as limited to 2TB when the disk
should be larger.
How can I get Debian to use the full 8TB on this disk?
Can you tell us more information about hardware setup?
How old is hardware of this "new machine"?
What's motherboard make and model?
Is HDD attached directly to the motherboard or using some kind of
eternal SATA\SAS controller?
It could be due to hardware\firmware limitations\incompatibility of a
SATA controller, or a fimware bug in drive itself.
