Thought it might be handy to throw in a use case for such a large root volume. Some "cloud" setups don't allow for attached volumes or any sort of attached block storage and only have a root volume (but are run on beefy enough servers with large disks to provide 100T of space to VMs.) In this isolated case, the best option is to setup and run a vm with GPT partitioned root disk (using something like: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-cloud/2013-December/000929.html and specifically http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/xenial/current/xenial-server-cloudimg-amd64-uefi1.img )
