I have a 12 disk RAID-5 hardware RAID with an ARECA card. This is under FC5, 2.6.17.6 kernel. The areca driver correcly reports 5Tb diskspace on this unit, shown as /dev/sdc: # fdisk /dev/sdc
fdisk won't work.
I also tried 'gparted', but the same problem.
In parted, you need to 'mklabel gpt'. Standard msdos disklabels don't handle devices >2TiB.
You won't be able to boot off this device, but it looks like that's not a concern for you.
