Inside parted, have you used "gpt" disklabel to break the 2T limit ?
(you will loose the possibity to boot from this device see:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2005-02/msg00005.html).
Using XFS on x86_64 4.0, I have been able to format and mount partiton
up to 2T (8x250G):
/dev/sda2 1.9T 195G 1.7T 11% /mnt/sda2
