I have built a system a couple of 3Ware 12 port SATA RAID controllers (model 9500s-12MI). I have attached 12 Hitachi 400 GB disks each of the 3Ware controller and have built a level 5 RAID through the 3Ware software. When the system is booted it sees the devices as scsi disks, /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc. The problems I have come when I define a partition table for the disks. I can able to define a file system larger than 2GB using reiserfs. I can not create two partitions of 2TB each, e.g. sdb1 and sdb2. I have looked on the web and seen that the limit for reiserfs is 16TB, so I know it is something I have overlooked, or have made a mistake with (more likely). I have searched for a 'how to' to walk me through this, but with no success. System: Motherboard : Tyan Thunder i7520/S5360 CPU : 2 x 2.8 GHz Xeon Memory : 2 GB OS : SuSE 9.2 64-bit (still waiting for 9.3) Kernel : 2.6.8-24.14-smp If anyone has any suggestions they will be greatly appreciated.
