Hi,
When playing with a dual Opteron box with a large RAID5 (6 TB) attached I noticed a couple of very strange things with fdisk. Distro is SL93 on the latest YOU level.
When a volume (say, /dev/sdb) is larger than 2 TB fdisk does not allow me to create partitions bigger than 1.2 TB, and it does not allow me to assign the remaining space to more partitions. When the volume is smaller, I can assign the whole volume to a single partition (e.g. 1.4 TB).
The old DOS partition format does not support more than 2TB. Use EFI partitions or LVM directly on disk. -Andi
