Seeing ext3 partitions > 2TB
I have a RAIDweb external RAID chassis which has a total of 3 terrabytes capacity on a CentOS 4.2 (kernel 2.6.9) server. Unfortunately, the raidweb can only do 2 TB per partition, so I created a 2TB and a 1.2TB partition, then created a logical volume...The disks are as follows:
Code:
Disk /dev/sdc: 2199.0 GB, 2199014866944 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 267348 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdc1 1 267348 2147472778+ 8e Linux LVM
Disk /dev/sdd: 1295.1 GB, 1295133966336 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 157457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdd1 1 157457 1264773321 8e Linux LVM
So the first device is 2TB and the second is 1.2TB. The volume group is 3.18TB:
Code:
# vgdisplay vg01
--- Volume group ---
VG Name vg01
System ID
Format lvm2
Metadata Areas 2
Metadata Sequence No 2
VG Access read/write
VG Status resizable
MAX LV 0
Cur LV 1
Open LV 1
Max PV 0
Cur PV 2
Act PV 2
VG Size 3.18 TB
PE Size 4.00 MB
Total PE 833067
Alloc PE / Size 833067 / 3.18 TB
Free PE / Size 0 / 0
...however...Once I create an ext3 filesystem, it is only 1.2TB, as if it is not seeing sdc1.
Any idea why this is happening? Everything I am seeing says that the ext3 should be able to see either 4 or 8 TB.
Thanks,
