====== SnapRAID - Disks - Partition a new parity disk ======

<code bash>
sudo parted -a optimal -s /dev/sdX -- mklabel gpt mkpart primary 0% 100%
sudo mkfs.ext4 -m 0 -T largefile4 -L disk01 /dev/sdX1
</code>

<WRAP info>
**NOTE:** "-m 0" here reserves 0% of the filesystem, ensuring that the parity disks are slightly larger than the data disks.
