I've run into offset problems with DOS partitions on Linux, where the
offset forces every write at the filesystem level to be written to two
stripes rather than one. You

Actually, you may get better performance out of Windows if you leave off
the GPT. You don't want really large storage pool volumes anyway, so
partitioning it out with 2 TB File systems, would be a good idea. That
would remove another level of complexity

If we create a 6TB LZ with GPT, will TSM
