Inside parted, have you used "gpt" disklabel to break the 2T limit ? (you will loose the possibity to boot from this device see: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2005-02/msg00005.html). Using XFS on x86_64 4.0, I have been able to format and mount partiton up to 2T (8x250G): /dev/sda2 1.9T 195G 1.7T 11% /mnt/sda2
Hmmm, I didn't know GPT was an option other than on IA-64. Microsoft supports LDM in GPT for NT5.x (2000/XP/2003) as well. I'm so used to breaking up SAN and local disk volumes into less than 1TB.
