Can't create a partition over 2TB



Hey there, I was hoping someone out there might be able to help me with my
problem. I have set up a raid array of 3 750GB drives. So the total size
is 2250GB. When I try to create a partition to filll the drive fdisk only
sees the first 6550ish blocks, where there should be over 270000
blocks.... If i create the raid device with only 2 of the drives,
totaling 1.5TB, then everthing works fine.

I have tried doing this with Fedora Core 5 (Which I really wanted to get
rid of and use Ubuntu, then tried Ubuntu 6.06, which I couldn't ge the
driver working on, and 6.10 Beta, wich cal load the driver but I get the
same problem. Is there some limit somewhere I'm not aware of?

PLease help!

It said requires Windows XP or better........ So I installed Linux!

I'd love to change the world....... But they wont give me the source code!
