The filesystem size (according to the superblock) is 549346683 blocks
The physical size of the device is 12475771 blocks
Either the superblock or the partition table is likely to be corrupt!
Abort<y>? yes
Is there some way to build single volumes larger than 2TB? It
should not be a problem with a 64 bit OS (Windows managed to do it
on this hardware before I switched it over to Linux). Is there some
tuning I need? Any pointers to documents or other useful references
would be appreciated. Thanks for any/all help.
Are you using a GPT partition for that 2.x TB filesystem?
I wasn't. I had let the installer set up the partition using LVM.
Then I tried without LVM. No matter what I did, it went boom.
I used parted to create a gpt partition, and was able to build a
clean file system that fsck doesn't get upset about.

Thanks VERY much for this info. It solved my problem.
Both anaconda and the LVM GUI created partitions that were unusable.
Nice set of bugs.
