Hi all,

Yesterday one of the HDD's in a F19 (yes I know) server died.  I found this 
out when the server would not reboot (45miles away from where I was too :( )

The only way the server would boot was if I disconnected the drive, connected 
to ATA0 /dev/sdb.

I have now replaced the drive with another of the same model and am about to 
set about rebuilding the RAID1 setup. However every page that Google gives me 
regarding this shows using FDisk to sort out the partition table prior to 
starting.

The niggle I've got is that because these are all 3TB drives I can't use 
fdisk.  If I use fdisk on one of the existing drives I get:

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1               1  4294967295  2147483647+  ee  GPT
Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary.

My question is, what do I need to do to set up the new drive, without using 
fdisk, so that I can then start rebuilding the 3 RAID1 devices on it?

If anyone has a link to a full set of instructions for restoring a large HDD 
I'd appreciate it
