large raid array and fedora 5

Hi,

I apologize in advance if my question is off-topic and if the question
was asked elsewhere. I want to create only one linux partition on a
raid 5 array (3.5 TB). I could not do that with fdisk in fedora 5. I
read the net and found out about 2TB size limit.

However, I have been using a cluster from somewhere in my school and
with df command I saw that the home directory is a raid array and its
size is 5.5TB. The cluster is running somekind of linux but I don't
really know.

My questions are How can I create a single partition (ext3) on raid 5
array? What command should I use?

If it is not possible, any suggestion is welcome.
Thanks,
TAT
