2.5 TB iSCSI Raid - one partition problem

[Götz Reinicke]

Hi,

I got a new iscsi raid with 6*500GB disks and set it up as one volume.

The volume got mounted, but I only can create a partition of about 275GB ...

I tried fdisk (util-linux 2.13-pre7), the original parted and a fresh 
compiled parted 1.8.8, but I do get errors from parted or fdisk only 
allows me to create the partition of the mentioned size. If I try to 
create a second partition, I do get the fdisk-message, that there are no 
more sctors free. Verifieing the partition tabel with fdisk shows 
2440073647 unused sectors.

The system is centos 5.2 with the latest updates.

Any hints on how to get one partition?


Thanks a lot and best regards
