You will definitely meet the same problem. As very large hardware disk becomes more and more popular, this will become a big issue for software raid.

I'm getting ready to setup a similar machine that will have 3x10TB (3 15 disk arrays with 750G drives), but won't be ready to try this for a few more days.
