Your partitioning is messed up, most likely you have a >2TiB partition on a dos partition table (which simply won't work). You have two options for devices larger than 2TiB, 1) use gtp as the partition table type (create with parted) 2) create a lvm pv directly on the device and skip the partition table all together.
Also, why the installer happily creates these filesystems like this is beyond me...
Either the superblock or the partition table is likely to be corrupt! Abort<y>? yes
This fs is most likely lost.
Is there some way to build single volumes larger than 2TB? It should not be a problem with a 64 bit OS
It's not even a problem on 32-bit Centos, just has to be done "the right way".

(Windows managed to do it on this hardware before I switched it over to Linux). Is there some tuning I need? Any pointers to documents or other useful references would be appreciated. Thanks for any/all help.
