Hi everybody, I'm getting a bit desperate with this subject. I've updated my SL to version 4.1 and I've obtained the same results as with 4.0. None of the suggestions from yesterday have resolved my issue and I can't get reflected de 5TB when I create the filesystem neither with SL 4.0 nor with 4.1 As I said before, I can't use parted to create my partitions (I sent my problem with sector size of 2048 bytes not supported by parted), and using fdisk or cfdisk I can only obtain a 4TB partition but the real problem is that when creating the filesystem (with mke2fs -b 4096) and mounting it, it appears to be a 2 TB size partition (either with Sl 4.0 or S.L 4.1) Anyone has achieved such large partitions working properly with SL??
