Hi Nicolas,

thanks for your reply.

Sorry, I forgot to include the fdisk output, which would have shown that I 
don't have a problem with 2 TB:
# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 146.6 GB, 146685296640 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 17833 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000

Disk /dev/sda doesn't contain a valid partition table

The first disk in this RAID 1 previously contained a Solaris installation, 
which I wiped out with "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M count=1".

Any further ideas?

With regards, Alex
