I run into something similar working with 2Terabytes disks.
I had to use % instead o sizes.
Eg:
(parted) mkpart
Partition name? []? 1
File system type? [ext2]?
Start? 0
End? 100%
(parted) set 1
Flag to Invert? raid
New state? [on]/off? on
I think the "primary" concept is for DOS 3.3 partition tables and might
not apply here.
Please, correct if I am wrong.
THanks
Sebastian
