Hello,
I'm trying to set up a large array but isn't working. I tried
Googling size limits, etc and came up empty.
The problem is that with 10 drives (300GB SCSI), the array is coming up
with 500GB of space?!? I did an experiment and when the array size
exceeds 2TB, it fails/wraps?
Is there a solution (simple or otherwise) for this? The machine runs
2.6.29.5 (anything later causes the machine to lock up :( ). I'm not
sure if mdadm or the kernel is the problem either.
Any suggestions appreciated (please CC me on replies).

Just guessing it is a mdadm bug.
I have a 32-bit 2.6.27.5 machine with mdadm 2.6.7 and mine is showing
an array size of 4.5tb correctly, so 2.6.29 should be just fine.
Check mdadm --version and see what version that you have of that, you
might also mount up the array and do "cat /proc/mdstat" and see what
size the kernel reports.
