I think you can't use "disks" with more than 2TB with msdos disk labels. You
need to use GPT in such cases (or reconfigure your array to have smaller
physical partitions and use LVM on top of these). For GPT support, you need to
change over to setup-storage; but please update to 3.2.18 to get lots of
bugfixes.

Best,
Michael
