If you are just trying to use all of the raw disk space you have in a

LVM. LVM creates logical volumes across multiple drives and allows you
to create very large file systems. Understand though that this is not
raid, it does not provide redundancy if one of the hard drives fails.
PS. Don't use FC3's LVM2/device-mapper with stripes > 1TB or
you risk data corruption.
You need userspace lvm2 >= 2.01.03 and kernel >= 2.6.11-rc4.
Also keep in mind that the 2TB limit is not a Linux limitation, but
is an inherent limitation in SCSI.
