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.
My questions are How can I create a single partition (ext3) on raid 5
array? What command should I use?
One way to skip the 2 TB partition table limit would be not to create any
partition table at all. As you only want only one single partition,
instead of mouting a partition like /dev/sda1 you could mount the entire
disk /dev/sda instead.
Assuming that your raid disk is called /dev/sda you could do something
like:
mkreiserfs /dev/sda
mount /dev/sda /mnt/hd
Of course a line in fstab will make mounting more simple.
I'm not familiar with ext3 or fedora 5. I usually prefer reiserfs, but
maybe feodora doesn't support reiserfs. If there is some 2 TB limitation
in ext3 you might have to choose another file system.
