Certainly MBR partitions do not work when you pass 2TB (2^32 512byte sectors). After all if it had a partition table already, it would have just used it. Now so far I have been running a few machines with GPT partitions on a 2.5TB raid for a few years and with grub2 it works just fine, even with a machine that just uses a plain old BIOS. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
