2TB is indeed the limit for MBR partitions but I thought this had nothing to do with a "virtual" software raid? The disks an sich have indeed an MBR partition table, but each disk is only 500GB.<br><br>Can you confirm that I need GPT for my software raid?<br><br><hr id="stopSpelling">From: michael.monnerie@is.it-management.at<br>To: evil_metalpeet@hotmail.com<br>CC: xfs@oss.sgi.com<br>Subject: RE: xfs_growfs doesn't grow on 2TB raid<br>Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2009 14:16:35 +0200<br><br>
