I'm using a Dell PERC 5/i with the drives configured as simple volumes (aka no hardware RAID). I beleive the PERCs are based on an LSI MegaRAID chipset/controller...

What SCSI controller are you using?

I'll second that... we recently put a system online with over 3TB of
storage. The only way to create a storage medium that large was to use a
gpt disk label and use parted to do the partitioning. mkfs had no
problems formatting the partition and it's been working properly for
quite some time now.

Did you try creating GPT partitions with parted? Fdisk won't do it.
