Just found in the 3ware manual:
"Even though the Linux 2.6 kernel supports partitions larger than 2 TB,
the installers for SuSE and Redhat do not. Turn auto-carving on to prevent
the installation from failing."
Well, it's actually not the installer, but anyways, I'll give it a try and
then give you a feedback! I don't really need partitions > 2TB.
