Or partition the array with a small partition for OS and big partition (gpt) for data. You should be able to carve up the array that way.On Thu, Jul 24, 2008 at 7:51 PM, Joshua Baker-LePain <jlb17-4+jYJfmkT58@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:On Thu, 24 Jul 2008 at 6:42pm, Milt Mallory wroteI have an Infortrend RAID box I'd like to see as one big 6TB partition, but I only can get 2.2TB partitions to work. I was trying to do this with an Adaptec controller but apparently they are only (any of them) 48 bits wide. Does anybody have a working system for SCSI/Centos over 2.2TB?Are you using gpt disk labels and parted (rather than fdisk) to do your partitioning?You can't install centos (or redhat) over a gpt partition (unless itanium platform) and there is a big chance your bios won't boot such installation. I came with 2 solutions: if disk access performance isn't important (as for backup), I do software raid; or I install two little raid1 disks for the OS and then I use GPT or LVM on the multi-tera raid of big disks.
