I've tried to create a large 5TB file system using both reiserfs and
ext3 and both have failed.
how did they fail?
When I create the partition using cfdisk it appeared to be created correctly,
now I have discovered that it is not.
I thought the problem was with the mkfs.<filesystem> commands but it looks like
it is a bit deeper than that.
I end up with only a 1.5TB file system. Does anyone know why this
doesn't work, what to do to fix it?
you have a single 5TB device? h/w raid, I think ?
Yes, Orion 12S RAID Array. 12x500GB drives
you might need to convert the partition table to GPT format for
supporting 2TB+ partitions. it can be done by the gnu parted tool.
Thanks, I don't know what GPT format is but I'll try to figure it out, I'm
compiling/installing gparted right now.

Others have suggested that only XFS or JFS will work. Is this so?
Thanks,
