Hi Dann,
Could it be that it's causing problems, because MBR's don't support
partitions greater than 2TB?
From Wikipedia:
> Protective MBR - Same as a normal MBR but the 64-byte area contains a
single 0xEE type Primary partition entry defined over the entire size of
the disk or in case of >2TiB, upto a partition size of 2 TiB.
Best regards
Kerim

Hi
i'm sending this email for Kerim as advised by Mrfai. No answer needed :)
i have an issue when trying to create a single root partition on a
raid5 array of 3.7TB
here's the disk_config :
*# <type> <mountpoint> <size> <fs type> <mount options> <misc options>
disk_config disk1 disklabel:gpt-bios bootable:1 fstabkey:uuid
primary / 100% ext4 rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro
primary swap 32G swap sw
*
when the system boot, it fails to boot from the mbr and drops to grub
rescue.
running rescue command like insmod linux fails with an error message
which i didn't wrote sorry, but it's easily reproducible i suppose.
i worked around the issue by creating more partitions not exceeding 2TB
i'm available for more information if needed.
thanks
Dann
