Hi,
Why not just put a single 2 TB partition on the
drive and install Linux to that, and then make a partition, or multiple
partitions after you install Debian.

Subject: 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 Regards
