I wonder if that would affect me as i am planning on doing 1 raid device at first, (the 4 300GB's) and making a LVM out of it. Then adding another device later with the 4 500's and adding in the new LVM drives into the current group. So i would have >2tb but it would be spread across 2 raid devices and 8 disks. -jason
The array I'm building is 7.5TB across 15 500GB SATA2 drives. In communication with the vendor over this, I found out that little tidbit about fdisk. So, I'm going to have to do the same thing with LVM groups. I understand there might be a performance hit on this, but I won't know until I get it built and tested. Does anyone know the deal with FDISK? Are there plans to fix that little problem? I mean pretty soon 2TB is gonna be a drop in the bucket for most filesystems, and considering ext3 handles 64TB or more, this seems a horrible limitation.

All, I am looking to build a NSF server starting with: 4 x 300GB drives RAID5, and adding 4 more 500GB RAID5 drives later. Is there a max filesystem size limit with fedora core 4? Or are there any other options that may cause me issues later down the road? Thanks in advance. -Jason
I just found out that fdisk doesn't like raw devices > 2TB. Don't know of a way around that limitation, but that's the only one I can think of.
