I have just finished creating an array on our new enclosure and our CentOS 5 server has recognized it. It shows as the full 6tb in the LSI configuration utility as well as when I ran fdisk:<br><br>[root@HOST sbin]# fdisk /dev/sdb<br>
Note: sector size is 2048 (not 512)<br><br>The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 182292.<br>There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,<br>and could in certain setups cause problems with:<br>
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)<br>2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs<br> (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)<br><br>Command (m for help): p<br><br>Disk /dev/sdb: 5997.6 GB, 5997628227584 bytes<br>
