We are trying to use a 13 Tb disk on one of the latest RedHat system;
namely, 2.6.18-128.4.1.el5xen.

"ext3" cannot see beyond 2 Tb.

We understand that zfs can work with the 13 Tb disk. However, zfs does
not come with RedHat.  Can it
easily be added to a RedHat system.  How?  We will need complete
instructions if this is possible.

What are the drawbacks to using ZFS?

Thanks.

one option is to mount via nfs

or are you trying to attach direct storage ?
Direct storage.  We need faster access.

We found an article that GPT kernel support is available by default in a Redhat Enterprise kernel.
From  http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/fdisk-unable-to-create-partition-greater-2tb.html
we could just

	mklabel gpt
	mkpart primary 0 12999Gb

	quit
	mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdc1

Will this work?
