Disk Array > 2TB

[Omar Castañeda Acosta]

Actually, I've done this before with other file systems.

Ext2 & Ext3 work (you receive a warning)
VFAT and MSDOS won't work
XFS will work without warnings

Other file systems I need to test. But I think I already did something like this with reiserfs before.

Hm, no partition used but the device /dev/sdb? How is that working? Is
xfs special in that way?
