I was going to add to the bug likewise.  I've got two machines with dual 
3ware 7508 cards running hardware RAID5 with software RAID0 stripes across 
the cards.  The md stripe ends up just under 2TB.  They're currently 
running 2.4.21 + XFS 1.3.

In fact, I know of several folks with arrays limited only by the 2TB 
limit.
