Hi,
I have Centos server 4.5 with 3.3TB raid disk on a 3 ware controller. Now the problem is that I am not able to see the partition in full since it shows only 1.2TB.
I have created a partition with Parted and (GNU PARTED) and I have seen it is 3.3 T there. However I have to make this partition on ext3 with make2efs j /dev/sda1 and after the formatting it went to 1.2T.
Could someone help me to address this issue by suggesting a proper partitioning utility which does this for me?. It is a production server on which 2 hdd had been failed and I need to make it up and running ASAP.
Any suggestion and help would be really appreciated.
Regards,
Rajeev R. Veedu

Rajeev,
Make sure you have the disk label set to gpt. When using parted, use the mklabel option.

You need CentOS 5 to support devices >2TB. And you can't boot from such devices because, as the other posted mentioned, you must use a gpt partition label, which grub does not support.
