本次操作环境：
Ubuntu Server 10.10
SCSI Harddisk：/dev/sda 500GB
U盘：/dev/sdb 8GB（模拟成USB Harddisk，安装OS）
介绍2种分区表：
MBR分区表：（MBR含义：主引导记录）
所支持的最大卷：2T （T; terabytes,1TB=1024GB）
对分区的设限：最多4个主分区或3个主分区加一个扩展分区。
GPT分区表：（GPT含义：GUID分区表）
支持最大卷：18EB，（E：exabytes,1EB=1024TB）
每个磁盘最多支持128个分区
所以如果要大于2TB的卷或分区就必须得用GPT分区表。
Linux下fdisk工具不支持GPT，得使用另一个GNU发布的强大分区工具parted。
fdisk工具用的话，会有下面的警告信息：
WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sda'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted.
下面是用parted工具对/dev/sda做GPT分区的过程：
root@node01:/mnt# parted /dev/sda

Warning: The existing disk label on /dev/sda will be destroyed and all data on this disk
will be lost. Do you want to continue?
Yes/No? yes

Warning: You requested a partition from 0.00B to 500GB.
The closest location we can manage is 17.4kB to 500GB.
Is this still acceptable to you?
Yes/No? yes
