I wonder if that would affect me as i am planning on doing 1 raid

adding another device later with the 4 500's and adding in the new
LVM drives into the current group. So i would have >2tb but it would
be spread across 2 raid devices and 8 disks.

The array I'm building is 7.5TB across 15 500GB SATA2 drives. In
communication with the vendor over this, I found out that little tidbit
about fdisk. So, I'm going to have to do the same thing with LVM
groups. I understand there might be a performance hit on this, but I
won't know until I get it built and tested. Does anyone know the deal
with FDISK? Are there plans to fix that little problem? I mean pretty
soon 2TB is gonna be a drop in the bucket for most filesystems, and
considering ext3 handles 64TB or more, this seems a horrible limitation.

All,
I am looking to build a NSF server starting with:
4 x 300GB drives RAID5, and adding 4 more 500GB RAID5 drives later.
Is there a max filesystem size limit with fedora core 4? Or are
there any other options that may cause me issues later down the
road? Thanks in advance.

I just found out that fdisk doesn't like raw devices > 2TB. Don't know
of a way around that limitation, but that's the only one I can think of.
