I could not do that with fdisk in fedora 5. I read the net and found

You can't have an ext3 filesystem that's larger than 2T.

The max size for a ext3 file system is 32TB if you use 8kB block sizes.
I have several systems with ext3 file systems larger than 4TB.

mneme # uname -a
Linux mneme 2.6.19-gentoo-r5 #1 SMP Wed Apr 11 11:23:40 EDT 2007 x86_64

The confusion about those values is, kernel 2.4 didn't handled
more then 2TB block devices, no matter what FS. This limit has
been removed with kernel 2.6.
