thanks

Hi.

Maybe you need to change the disk partition table to GPT.

MBR has a 2TB capacity limitation, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record .

Hi all,

I recently installed an all-in-one openstack environment using packstack.

I just realized that my instances disks have a limitation of 2TB even though the volume is bigger.

Is there a reason for that?

Thank you very much
