I will try Fedora 12/64bit on Monday when I have physical access. Right now all tests have failed. OS in Centos 5.4 x86 PAE so I opened a ticket both in Centos and Redhat bugzilla. I don't have any contract with redhat but I hope they will give a try on this. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=573185 http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=4239 My feelings are that it has to do with the software raid layer and not the filesystem (ext4, xfs, gfs all died). The filesystem seems to not get the appropriate physical/logical quandaries from the raid layer. Unless the x86 kernel is not capable of addressing large filesystems as it is documented (16TB as you said).
I thought I should report here as well. I've installed Centos 5.4 x64 and all going well so far. No corruptions at all. My setup is as before sdb (hard raid5) | |------> md0 (soft raid0)----> LVM ----> ext4 | sdc (hard raid5) The only strange thing I've noticed is that pvcreate is messing with the gpt label on md0. Don't know of that is normal. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=573185#c4 #fdisk -l /dev/md0 WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/md0'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT.
