New Drive showing only 1.7TB instead of 4TB

Thu Aug 6 08:52:20 UTC 2020

HI there list people,

I have a New drive and the fdisk is showing ~1.7TB.  The drive is 4TB. 
How can I get a single 4TB partition on the entire drive?

noah at nuc2:~$ sudo fdisk /dev/sdc

Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.34).

Be careful before using the write command.
