I have a DELL server with a hardware raid controller card and 6 x 750GB
Harddisk, and I configured it as a Raid-5 (5 x 750GB) and 1 of HotSpare. I
partitioned 50GB of the main base CentOS system and the remain unpartitioned
size should be 2.5xxxTB, but however I just have 2.0T as EXT-3 limitation (I
think), How can I use the full size of this with LVM?
This has been answered many times on the CentOS list:
1) On a device larger than 2.0TB, you must use a gpt disklabel rather than
the default msdos.
2) You must use parted when partitioning such a device.
3) You can't boot from such a device (as neither grub nor lilo support gpt
disklabels).
