Description
Description
Currently Nextcloudpi uses an msdos partion table.
I want to boot my Raspberry Pi 4 from an external 6TB USB disk.
However, the maximum partition size is ~ 2TB for the msdos partition table. So I cannot create one large partition for the data.

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the NextcloudPi Raspberry Pi image build entry point and the code that creates its msdos partition table; done means the image uses GPT and supports a single data partition on a 6TB external USB disk while remaining bootable on a Raspberry Pi 4.
