Got it working. Forget about using parted. I just went and
make the filesystem straight into the device. mkfs.xfs –L /home -f /dev/sdb that did the job Now df correctly reports 2.6 TB: /dev/sda3 17580928 698932

fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Omar Castañeda Acosta I’ve got a system with a 3ware 9000 RAID card with 12
250GB SATA drives. And another one with two 3ware 9000 RAID cards each with 8
250GB SATA drives. Both are running kernel 2.6.8-1 (521) 686smp (Systems are
dual Xeon 2Ghz HT). I’ve got no problem with the 2nd system.
Both arrays are 1.75 TB and running fine. However I’d like to join both
disks on a single volume. The 1st system I cannot get the system to
recognize the full 2.5 TB. This is my syslog: Sep 28 14:13:02 heracles kernel: 3ware 9000 Storage

(volume manager doesn’t support above 2TB does it?) Thanks in advance. Omar Castañeda Acosta Sysadmin iDEA |
