Why fight with physical hardware limitations?
Install Virtualbox (it's free) and create as many bootable virtuals as you
want, each reachable without a physical hard-on-the-hardware re-boot. And from
my experience the actual boot times of the virtuals are only about 50% of

Lets be clear here. There isn't really a bug in fdisk. It just doesn't
handle any partition table types other than MSDOS. And MSDOS type partition
tables have the 2 TB limitation, not fdisk.
I don't blame developers for not updating fdisk. I think its an inferior
tool to parted (and gparted).

Did you actually get 2 that both worked? I was looking at
the reviews for 3TB drives on newegg recently and they
make it sound very risky to try 3TB drives (or even
2TB drives).

Today I bought 2 3 TB hard drives to use in my new server.
I'm writing this in case other people aren't aware that some of the
traditional hard drive management methods don't work for drives larger than
2 TB.
Specifically, fdisk and MSDOS type partition tables.
Here is how I created a single par
