You'll have to change to GPT partitioning to use >2TB; for instance:
Only if I'm partitioning the disk, surely. If I just throw the whole raw disk into mdadm (sdd, sde, sdf...) then isn't partitioning irrelevant?

Hmm, el6. Nice to know that will work when CentOS6 comes out; maybe I'll wait until then and rebuild my machine with 64bit mode.
You will need to align your partitions to the 4KB sector boundaries;
What if I don't partition?
Thanks,
