I've got a 2.2TB array mounted on a 3ware 9500 controller.
I installed it last week ensuring that LBA was enabled and
using gpt with parted to get the full size available on one
array.

Just because you can slice (partition) an array doesn't mean
the filesystem will format and/or be usable.

I would very much recommend against that on any Fedora-based
distro. ReiserFS support is not tested or guaranteed.

Er, um, there are a _lot_ of considerations beyond 1TiB
(1.1TB) that _must_ be considered when you build a kernel
with various filesystem support. There's a reason why you
should stick with the distro's kernels (regardless of
distro).
Any reason you must have ReiserFS? And if so, I'd consider
SuSE instead. Of course, some things don't work on
SuSE-based/ReiserFS as they do on Fedora-based/Ext3, such as
NFS.

Roger that last observation :-). I have been having problems w/
ReiserFS & NFS (twixt a SuSE 9.2 box & some SGI's) for a few
weeks now, though they *might* be calming down a bit (after some
apparently prescient recommendations from TheBS :-) ) ....<br>
