How to install Debian 12 on a 5T external hard drive



Hi Samuel,

Long time no contact, how's everything?

I bought a 5T external hard drive and tried to install Debian 12 on it manually. But I could NOT set up the /root partition as bootable, and the installation program did NOT allow me to set up each partition in EXT4 format. 

The partition table I set up is:

/dev/sda1 1k unused (it was created automatically)
/dev/sda2 500M EFI System Partition (ESP):formatted as FAT32
/dev/sda3 20G   /root formatted as EXT4, but I could NOT set it as bootable
/dev/sda4 40G   /home formatted as EXT4
/dev/sda5 1G   formatted as SWAP
/dev/sda6 4.5T   /data formatted as EXT4
/dev/sda7 256K   unused

The sudo fdisk -l result is:

Disk /dev/sda: 4.55 TiB, 5000981077504 bytes, 9767541167 sectors
Disk model: One Touch w/PW  
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt
Disk identifier: 464295B6-9A0B-4A04-B689-AFE30DFF573C

Device         Start        End    Sectors  Size Type
/dev/sda1       2048    1026047    1024000  500M EFI System
/dev/sda2    1026048   63940607   62914560   30G Linux filesystem
/dev/sda3   63940608  189769727  125829120   60G Linux filesystem
/dev/sda4  189769728  193964031    4194304    2G Linux filesystem
/dev/sda5  193964032 9767540735 9573576704  4.5T Linux filesystem

Please tell me how to install correctly. THanks.

Regards


Henry

I have no idea how to do that, but the debian-accessibility list
probably knows.
