cant create large partition with current 2.6.24 kernel

[vlad]

Trying to create 6Tb partition and limited to 2Tb, I think the problem is CONFIG_LBD missing from config-2.6.24-11-pve. Decided to use whole raid device instead of partitioning it, let me know if there is a better way to do it.

Thanks,

Once again: The standard DOS Master Boot Record cannot handle disks > 2TB

Solved the issue by using LVM. Thanks.
