Huge Partition

[Bill Gradwohl]

How does one go about getting a partition larger than 1TB?

I've got a 3Ware Escalade with 12 250G drives. I've installed all the
regular OS files & directories on 2 of those drives mirrored as RAID 1. That
works fine.

Id' like to use all but one of the remaining drives as a single large
partition on RAID 5 (9 drives - useable capacity of 8 = 2TB). 

The last drive is a hot spare. 

The Escalade 8506 has a 2TB limit, and it will set up the RAID 5 at 2TB.
However, FC1 won't partition past 1TB.

What are my options? Will FC2 help?

The use of that 2TB space is for SAMBA, to store large CAD drawings.
