Hello listmates,
Here's I am, trying to install Centos 6.2 64-bit on a server with 24 TB
of
disk RAIDed as RAID 6. So I get this 18 TB disk (the RAID is recognized
as
one disk) where I am trying to put my OS. And I can create a couple of partitions - let us say I defiine a 150 GB swap, a 150 GB "/", a 100 GB "/var". So far so good. Then I try to define the next one, say, a 100 GB "/tmp" and get a message stating there is not enough disk space whereas I still have over 18 TB free and the installation interface reflects that accurately!
I am at a loss. Is that something related to the sheer size of the disk? Why would this happen - especially at so basic a stage of the process?
At any rate, any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Have you also defined a /boot partition and maybe declared all of them to be primary partitions? If so you maybe ran out of partitions rather than actual diskspace. Are you using a GPT partition table?

Dennis,
Thanks for your help.
By all appearances this is not GPT but rather MSDOS table. And this may be bad news overall. See this:
