I think its finally got into my head now. :)
From what i understand (after your replies and some more googling)
GRUB cannot boot from gpt labeled drives.
So no matter how i partition them, it just wont boot.
Correct.
So finally, i am putting a 300G SATA to act as the "system" drive.
Then use the other 750G's to be the big RAID 5 Volume (XFS)
Yes, thought about it.
But DELL PERC does not seem to be able to do that.
That is atleast what i have found out till now.
Wish it was possible.
Just in case, if anyone knows better, please let me know.
I have a Dell PE2950
That will work. Another way is to see if the raid-controller can present two
volumes from your raid5, one small (for OS) and one big (for gpt large fs).
If this works then you'll get one device on which you can use msdos
partitions and boot from and one (>2T) on which you use gpt (or simply lvm
directly on the device).
