I should say that I STRONGLY recommend not creating ext3 file systems in the 2TB+ range - fsck takes too long and you'd hate to get hit by one of those in what is supposed to be a "quick" reboot...and disabling them on the file system isn't a good idea either.
On the other hand, nothing is as well supported on RHEL/CentOS as is ext3. So if you're data is really important to you, think hard about using another FS.
