I have had no issue thus far with 2tb or less running through fdisk, it is this 5.3 tb fs that I'm working with now that is causing me grief. SGI says that I need CONFIG_LBD enabled in the kernel to support larger sizes, but that is enabled by default in the fedora 64 port that i was working with for testing. I'm considering applying the xfs patches to the rhel4 kernel and trying to work from there since that is my employer's preferred distro at the moment for this particular piece of the network. However this config will take us out of the support range that they wanted as I will not be running the standard rh-compiled kernel. blah.
