You are both correct. When I said "due to issues with volumes greater than 2TB" I
should have indicated that they were more to do with my issues and/or our
environment.  I probably wasn't persistent enough with it.  I now have a DAS box
with >2TB volumes and it is working fine so I should probably start over using no
partions and see how it goes.
