Busybox's fdisk calls warns on >2tb disks #1883

@tlaurion

Description

@tlaurion

4tb drive (>2tb) hits a limit. We need to replace fdisk usage with raw linux /sys or /proc output

Reported by user at https://matrix.to/#/!pAlHOfxQNPXOgFGTmo:matrix.org/$BBCUnUv-0D9IOgneYpNTMynCOz66O9Wrh792tVPmt-I?via=matrix.org&via=nitro.chat&via=envs.net

busybox's fdisk errors (warn; doesn't report !=0) on call and gives following output:
signal-2025-01-04-114852

EDIT: I can't replicate bad behavior under Heads with emulated qcow2 disk of 4tb. I need more info/debug traces.
