Title:
  Larger than  2 TB disks not possible

Status in cloud-utils:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi,

  We run Openstack and need to provide instances that have very large
  root disks (> 2 TB) and it looks like cloud-init doesn't want to use
  the entire space.

  The regular Ubuntu cloud image has MBR and it doesn't see more than 2
  TB, but even the GPT version (http://cloud-
  images.ubuntu.com/xenial/current/xenial-server-cloudimg-
  amd64-uefi1.img) still fails to see more than 2 TB.

  The cloud-init.log looks like the disk growing and file system resizing went fine:

  On the other hand, the Ubuntu 14.04 image with GPT works fine though and resizes the root to use the entire disk space provided, despite some errors in the cloud-init.log file:
