I'll second that... we recently put a system online with over 3TB of storage. The only way to create a storage medium that large was to use a gpt disk label and use parted to do the partitioning. mkfs had no problems formatting the partition and it's been working properly for quite some time now.

I have an Infortrend RAID box I’d like to see as one big 6TB partition, but I only can get 2.2TB partitions to work. I was trying to do this with an Adaptec controller but apparently they are only (any of them) 48 bits wide. Does anybody have a working system for SCSI/Centos over 2.2TB?
Did you try creating GPT partitions with parted? Fdisk won't do it.
