It formatted just fine, showed up with df just fine, and happily accepted the data copied to it...

The box has ALOT of disks, and we didn't feel like doing all that copying just to change filesystem when if after all was working just fine. I think the box initially had suse or mdk installed which is the main reason for using reiserfs. I also read some comments on ext3 not beeing too clever with large disks, but I'm not sure if they still apply.

All the other disks which are just below the 2TB limit and has reiser works just fine; the problem is this large beast...
