I tried this but I'll try again tonight just in case I missed something the 
first time.

I didn't check what pvcreate did but vgcreate after that gave me 2TB volume 
group. Googling around it looks like there is 2TB limit and there should be 
some kernel parameters to tweak but I still can't get a clear answer.

Thanks
