With that much disk space to setup, have you tried this with FC2. I'm
using FC3 testing and the version is e2fsprogs-1.35-9.5
The changlog is attached. It might do a better job with this size disk.
There seems to be significant differences between the older FC2 version
and what is contained in this version. I had disk problems and there was
some complaint that one of my filesystems waa created with a newer
version of mkfs and could not be checked. This must mean that it does
more than the earlier versions or in a different way.
I don't have a disk that large to work with. This is just something that
might get the drives sized to your preferences.
