[ale] very bid device

I just partitioned a 5.2TB disk and had some issues. The first problem
I had was that fdisk complained about no cylinders. It also only saw
2.0TB. The 2nd problem was that the kernel kept reporting this message
"very big device, try READ CAPACITY(16)".
I was able to partition using parted instead of fdisk. I then formatted
using xfs and saw all disk space. Am I clear? Do I need to do anything
about that message in the kernel log? How can I use fdisk instead of
parted?
