Hello, I have one USB disk of 3 TB. It is devided into 2 partitions, 1.5 TB each with Linux type (id 83). When using fdisk I can see 2 partions as follows (* 1)* *Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System * /dev/sdb1 1 30000 ...... 83 Linux /dev/sdb2 30001 45600 ....... 83 Linux But when using the command "parted /dev/sdb1" in which I run "mklabel gpt /dev/sdb1", the last result I have as follow: *Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System* /dev/sdb1 1 456001 ........ ee EFI GPT It looks like the second partion 2 (/dev/sdb2) is disappeared and the partition 1 become the whole disk with GPT label.
It appears that you applied your first (fdisk) command correctly to the whole disk device (/dev/sdb); but it appears that you applied your second (parted) command to the first partition on that device (/dev/sdb1). You need to apply parted to /dev/sdb.
That said, the "mklabel" command creates an entirely new partition table, so you shouldn't be using that command if you want to preserve your existing partitions.
