command '/sbin/pvs --separator : --noheadings --units k --unbuffered --nosuffix --options pv_name,pv_size,vg_name,pv_uuid /dev/sdb' failed: exit code 5

Hello,

i get this error:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
root@pve-m01:~# fdisk /dev/sdb

Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.33.1).
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
Be careful before using the write command.

The old LVM2_member signature will be removed by a write command.

Device does not contain a recognized partition table.
The size of this disk is 3.5 TiB (3840699359232 bytes). DOS partition table format cannot be used on drives for volumes larger than 2199023255040 bytes for 512-byte sectors. Use GUID partition table format (GPT).

Created a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0x8997549e.

I have resolved this issue with:

fdisk /dev/sdb

then command: g (create a new empty GPT partition table)
and command: w (written)

that resolved the issue.
