YES. I forgot to mention that we have the OS on a separate 20GB RAID'ed partition. The remaining disk space is allocated to the big GPT RAID'ed partition.

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?
Are you using gpt disk labels and parted (rather than fdisk) to do your partitioning?
You can't install centos (or redhat) over a gpt partition (unless itanium platform) and there is a big chance your bios won't boot such installation. I came with 2 solutions: if disk access performance isn't important (as for backup), I do software raid; or I install two little raid1 disks for the OS and then I use GPT or LVM on the multi-tera raid of big disks.
Or partition the array with a small partition for OS and big partition (gpt) for data. You should be able to carve up the array that way.
