That ext2 must be on a smaller than 2TB disk, unless you want to throw away some of the disk's capacity. For a desktop, this is no problem: Do what I do and have / on a little MBR formatted SSD, with /home and /var and other stuff that actually writes often on a large, UEFI formatted disk. For laptops it's a little harder because you can't (AFAIK) boot modern windows with an MBR disk, and you must have a functional Windows to maintain your ability to access warranty parts replacement. With old laptops, I just jettison the Windows and mbr format the disk; heck, I have no warranty anyway.
