Hi there,
I'm running the same kind of configuration (RHEL ES 4 on a PowerEdge
2950 with a QLE2460 connected to a SanBox 5200 with 2 XServe RAID 10.5TB).
The four 4.5TB slices are directly formated in ext3, no partitions were
created.
Should I expect to get some data corruption on power failure ?
Thanks,
Ionel

4TB ext3 partition with no problems and use it fine. When the system
power drops or it’s rebooted, the file system can’t be mounted
again. It looks like the partition table is getting corrupted. Here
is some of the doc I gathered:
Disk geometry for /dev/sdb: 0.000-4292376.000 megabytes
Disk label type: msdos
Bingo. That's your problem. You have to use a gpt disk label
for partitions this large. I had the identical problem
and I was able to fix it without loosing a single bit.
I described it in a posting to this group on 3/14/2007.
(I'll send it to you directly).
Cordially,
