i try to install Centos 6 on a Server with 2x 3TB Disks. When anaconda is showing up the disk partitioner i cant do more then 3 "normal Partitions" or more then 3 "Raid Partitions".

Even when u choose that each partition is 200mb, u cant do more then 3 "normal" or "raid" partitions.

is this a bug of anaconda installer?

I *think* disk druid (or whatever it's called) is based on fdisk.

I'm sure anaconda use parted and CentOS6 support GPT.

For larger than 2TB partitions, you need parted or gparted. Consider a) booting off a rescue disk b) using gparted to partition them: note that you *will* need to make them gpt, *not* the normal mbr. c) make usable partitions for /boot and /. d) make larger partitions for whatever else you want.

The normal goes back to the M$ DOS days, and 2TB is the max, and only four primary partitions are allowed. Beyond that, you make an extended partition, and make partitions in that.
