If anyone is interested, I installed a fresh os on the NVMe drive with 4TB.
Raspbian has MBR which can only make partitions with max. 2TB, in my case with a 4TB drive I had to switch to GPT. My System is a Geekwork X1001 with a Crucial P3 M.2 Series 4TB. Benchmark can be found here
Here the steps:
1. Boot your pi with a SD card and already installed NVMe, and install a image with `imager` on the rpi desktop, you can also make the settings (e.g. username, password, wifi, ...)
2. make sure with `raspi-config` the boot order is `B1: SD Card Boot Boot from SD card if available, otherwise boot from NVMe`.
3. Poweroff system and remove SD card and poweron again
4. when the pi has booted and everything runs well (e.g. wifi connection), poweroff again and insert SD card again
5. Poweron and wait system is ready, then in terminal
6. `sudo gdisk /dev/nvme0n1` and press `w` and then `y`
7. `sudo partprobe /dev/nvme0n1`
8. `sudo apt install cloud-guest-utils`
9. `sudo growpart /dev/nvme0n1 2`
10. `sudo e2fsck -f /dev/nvme0n1p2`
11. `sudo resize2fs /dev/nvme0n1p2`
12. `sudo blkid`, example output(!!)13. Mount the system14. `sudo nano /media/rpiroot/etc/fstab` and replace the first PARTUUID number with the PARTUUID number from nvme0n1p1 and replace the second one with the number from nvme0n1p2, in my case15. `sudo nano /media/rpiboot/cmdline.txt` and replace the PAARTUUID number with the PARTUUID number from nvme0n1p2, in my case16. `sudo nano /media/rpiboot/config.txt` and add the lines on the bottom of the file17. `sudo poweroff` and take out the SD card and power on again
18. `sudo apt install gparted` and open it in the desktop
19. Be happy, it should looks like this

I know, my "manual" is very short in words, but I hope it helps... Maybe it will get a sticky too![;)]( "Wink")
What is also possible, make an image from your existing os from SD card and flash it with step 1, so there is no need to use a fresh os...
