Missing a Terabyte
I'm a bit old school. I am sad to say that I have been using fdisk for half of my life. I can count on one hand how many times I have used a graphical program to partition a hard disk. Imagine my surprise when I realized my 3TB hard disk only had 2TB free! It turns out MBR partition tables don't support hard disks larger than 2TB. To partition a bigger hard disk, you have to use a GUID Partition Table (GPT). According to the Wikipedia article, fdisk doesn't support GPT. I guess I have to learn a new partition tool.
