(if it can Stephan> be related to the lbd patch, i will remove 2 hd's from the Stephan> array (but i don't prefer this option)) I haven't tested ext[23] with that large a system on IA32 (I stopped at 2.4TB, and that was on Linux 2.5). The 2.4 LBD patch was basically backported from the 2.5.9 version (the last tested version before Al Viro's rewrite of the block device and partitioning code). Differences in ext[32] between 2.4.20 and 2.5.9 may not have been allowed for properly. I'll have a look when I'm in at work today. Is there any reason why you're sticking with the 2.4 kernel and ext3? XFS has been used (on SGI systems) for much longer with large disk arrays, and I'd expect (linux-specific bugs aside) it to be a more mature product for this application.
