Hi Sanjay, Thanks for the report. The fact that we can't create a partition over 2TiB is a limitation in the MBR [0]. Unfortunately for OSP 7 or 8 we do not support opt-in choosing the disk label (between MBR or GPT), the disk label for these versions of OSP is implicitly set according to the boot mode (BIOS vs UEFI). So, the only way to create a partition over 2TiB is by using UEFI. For OSP 9+ we allow operators to opt-in [1] and create a GPT partition for nodes booting in BIOS mode as well.
