RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description David Kovalsky 2009-02-20 21:18:40 UTC
This is a problem with disk setups >2TB, since that's the max size that MSDOS label can address. 

I have 6 1TB drives in a DELL 2950 (with no more space for boot device), which forces me to create 2 RAIDs, instead of using 1 HW RAID5 over all 6 disks.

Comment 4 Denise Dumas 2009-09-16 20:06:45 UTC
GPT support is in F12 as part of UEFI, and will be picked up for RHEL6. We're still validating >2TB disk support, but that is tracked in 203383 so I'm closing this as a duplicate.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 203383 ***

Comment 5 Denise Dumas 2009-09-16 20:08:00 UTC
BTW, if you are a hardware partner who would like us to test this with your card and UEFI firmware, please contact us!
