It may be that you are using fdisk to create the partitions which only uses an "msdos" disk label. If you have luns larger than 2TB, you need to use the "parted" tool and give the lun a "gpt" disk label. That will get you beyond 2TB for a single lun. Of course, as mentioned already, you could create a bunch of 2TB luns and tie them together via lvm. Either will work but the LVM method will be more flexible down the road. -C On Wed, Jun 1, 2011 at 11:26 PM, Bob Wickline <wick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > You might want to rethink your strategy. I always limit myself to 8TB LUNs and create four (4) 2TB fdisk primary partitions and cat them together in an LVM volume. And then unless you are on RHEL6, you will need an XFS license to create that large of filesystem... > -- > Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.
