[rhn-users] File systems > 2TB

[Ron Arnett]

I believe your problem is there is still a 2 tb lun limit. 
On my raids I create one lun partition that lun into two
pieces/partitions and then put it back together with mdadm. I do have a
3.2 tb file system using this method.

I have a RAID-5 storage array with 3.63 TB of space.

I've installed Red Hat Enterprise 4 on teh system disk and want to
create a 
file system with the RAID. Does the 2.6 kernel of Red Hat now allow you
to 
make ext3 filesystems with over 2 TB?  I tried mke2fs -j /dev/sdb1 and
all 
it did was create a 1.7 TB partition.  Not what I had in mind.  Anyone
ever 
have ext3 go over 2 TB?

I would try and mkreiserfs but that would include patching the kernel to

reiserfs.
