Dear Friends ,
I am using Redhat Ent Linux 5.0 with a EMC storage which HDD space is 4 TB. After Installing RHEL 5 , I get 4 TB space available but when I am going to create a partition then the OS show 2TB available space . I cannot create a partition above 2TB space . Is there any limitation of linux regarding this issue ?
I am trying to create partition during installation of o/s and after installation of o/s (using fdisk) .
Plz inform ..
What kernel version are you running? What architecture and what command are you using to create the partition?
Friends ,
I already solved the problem . I did it using linux 'parted' command . Because fdisk has the limitation to do it .
Using a LVM will also solve this issue.
Use a full disk drive instead of a single partition.
ie:
--- Physical volume ---
PV Name /dev/cciss/c1d0
VG Name vg02
PV Size 6.14 TB / not usable 888.50 KB
Allocatable yes
PE Size (KByte) 4096
Total PE 1609588
Free PE 1071988
Allocated PE 537600
