Hi Dann, <br>
<br>
Could it be that it's causing problems, because MBR's don't support
partitions greater than 2TB?<br>

<p>Hi<br>
<br>
i'm sending this email for Kerim as advised by Mrfai. No answer
needed :)<br>
<br>
i have an issue when trying to create a single root partition on
a raid5 array of 3.7TB<br>
<br>
here's the disk_config : <br>
<br>
<strong><small># <type> <mountpoint> <size>
<fs type> <mount options> <misc options><br>
<br>
disk_config disk1 disklabel:gpt-bios bootable:1
fstabkey:uuid<br>
<br>
primary / 100% ext4 rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro<br>
primary swap 32G swap sw<br>
</small></strong><br>
when the system boot, it fails to boot from the mbr and drops to
grub rescue.<br>
running rescue command like insmod linux fails with an error
message which i didn't wrote sorry, but it's easily reproducible
i suppose.<br>
<br>
i worked around the issue by creating more partitions not
exceeding 2TB<br>
<br>
i'm available for more information if needed. <br>
<br>
thanks<br>
Dann</p>
