you have to set the disk label to "gpt". For example via parted: parted /dev/hdx mklabel gpt I've never tried that though but our storage expert told me that. Actually that's not autoyast related. It's the same for a manual installation.

Thanks for the response, but I think I was a bit unclear.
I am trying to create an autoyast profile to partition a >2TB disk with
a single partition. In my normal profiles I partition a disk with:
<partitioning config:type="list">
<drive>
<partitions config:type="list">
<partition>
<mount>/</mount>
<size>10gb</size>
<filesystem config:type="symbol">reiser</filesystem>
