Partitioning tool for larger than 1 TB LUN ?
Seems fdisk and partd have problems correctly creating LUNs over 1 TB. Is there a partitioning tool on SUSE AMD64 that will handle this ?

LVM is fine for creating a logical volume larger than 1 TB, using smaller
LUNs. What I need is to create a single LUN on a RAID box that is larger
than 1 TB.
We have several Terabytes of disk that are currently on RedHat systems on
P4s, with each RAID box setup as a single LUN ( ~1.3 TB). These are XFS
filesystems, and currently have data on them. We are trying to move them
to Opteron Systems using SUSE 9 (193), but having problems with SCSI
errors being generated. We are trying to keep from having to back all of
the data off the arrays, reformatting them into smaller LUNS, and using
LVM to stripe them to get them back over 1 TB. Is this possible on SUSE ?
Thanks,
Kevin

Most likely it's a driver issue. Can you try with a different type of SCSI adapter? -Andi
