Tera Bites fdisk

For half a dozen years, I've been showing people how to use fdisk in varying capacities including positions as a technical trainer for Red Hat and VMware. I had a standard joke that:

...you can specify a partition size K's, M's, or G's, but I've not had a chance to test if T for terabyte will work.

Today, I had the chance:

Command (m for help): n
Command action
e   extended
p   primary partition (1-4) p
Partition number (1-4): 1
First cylinder (1-182401, default 1):
Using default value 1
Last cylinder, +cylinders or +size{K,M,G} (1-182401, default 182401): +1T
Unsupported suffix: 'T'.
Supported: 10^N: KB (KiloByte), MB (MegaByte), GB (GigaByte)
2^N: K (KibiByte), M (MebiByte), G (GibiByte)
Last cylinder, +cylinders or +size{K,M,G} (1-182401, default 182401):

So, fdisk does not support terabytes. This was under Fedora 11, so its a somewhat recent distro. I'm sure thee is probably a replacement somewhere that does work, but not using fdisk is like not using a screwdriver, just because a Ryobi 18v power driver is available.

The good news is that fdisk isn't broken, per se: +1024G works just fine.
