In the larger G-Series VM sizes (G4 and G5) we have SSD-backed ephemeral disks that are larger than 2TB, and so they look a little different; namely they now use a GPT partition table and they also have two partitions:

------------------------------------------------------------------
Model: Msft Virtual Disk (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdb: 6597GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: gpt Disk
Flags:

Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
 1 17.4kB 134MB 134MB Microsoft reserved partition msftres
 2 135MB 6597GB 6597GB ntfs Basic data partition
