I have an ec2 instance on aws running linux, with a root volume and another volume for data. Both are ext4. I need to increase the data volume size to more than 2 TB. However currently the partitioning scheme is mbr, so I'm unable to create such partition. I found that gpt allows more than 2 TB partitions. But most google search results are not very clear whether same server can have 1 disk ( root ) with mbr and another non-root disk as gpt.
Is this possible and safe in production ? Anyone has done such kind of setup?
Thanks in advance.
