FYI the latest development kernels have an option to support larger
block devices.
(part of Kconfig:)
Say Y here if you want to attach large (bigger than 2TB) discs to
your machine, or if you want to have a raid or loopback device
bigger than 2TB. Otherwise say N.
But I suppose you do not want to use an unstable kernel for an
critical server :)
