Hi There
This is probably in reference to the fact that fdisk traditionally only supports MBR partitions (which have a limit of 2TB) although some fdisk utilities do support GPT. Take a look at this post in the RedHat forums: https://learn.redhat.com/t5/Platform-Linux/Partitioning-using-fdisk-vs-gdisk/td-p/1826
Here are the AWS instructions for making an EBS volume available for Linux instances. You can create the filesistem directly on the block device using mkfs
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ebs-using-volumes.html
If you want to create partitions, you can use gdisk (basically newer version of fdisk)
See https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/create-lv-on-ebs-partition
