The controller is 8 channel SATA 300. That's not the problem. The problem is getting the OS to mount a 4TB array after the initial install of the OS. We had a 1.5 TB on there for a few years and never had this problem with arrays under 2 TB.
Your original post said 2GB, not TB.
Are you trying to boot from this device? Because you can't. Search the list history for multiple posts about dealing with >2TB drives. The highlights are:
a) You can't boot from it b) You must use a gpt disklabel c) You must use parted to partition it
