Is there a 8 tb img here and step by step instruction

The commands work fine in the terminal window in Ubuntu. However, one may have to use “sudo” prior to issuing each command if they don’t have proper root access in Ubuntu. I use Ubuntu and the terminal window with the directions above to put several different sized hard drives into my first gen My Cloud enclosure.

Example Sudo command: sudo parted /dev/sdb

Currently an 8TB drive is working fine in a first gen My Cloud enclosure.
