I have a 3TB disk, and I understand I have to use parted if I want to create a partition bigger than 2TB. All right then.parted /dev/sdb(parted) mklabel gpt(parted) mkpart primary                                          File system type?  [ext2]?Say what? It does not let me to create a partition without specifying a FS type. Why does parted insist on specifying a FS type. AFAIU, a FS type is completly independent from a partition. In man parted, I read that:fs-type can be one of fat16, fat32, ext2, linux-swap, or reiserfs.I don't want any of these. I want to create a partition to be used as LUKS partition. What should I select?
parted: create new partition
luks;parted
Parted prompts and goes into an interactive mode when you do not provide enough information to create the partition with the command. The following will create a partition that spans the entire disk and will not prompt for filesystem type:mkpart primary 1 -1
