The subcommand 'mkpartfs' in the parted command can not create a 2TB or more filesystem correctly.
Issue
- When a filesystem with 2TB or more of space is created by
mkpartfsinparted, it does not seem to correctly allocate the space because "block bitmap" and "inode bitmap" should be outside the range of free blocks but in some cases they are within the range of free blocks.
