Hi

I've got a RAID5 (driver aacraid for an ICP9047MA) with four
750GB hdds which provides a 2.25TB sized device.
None of the until now used tools will work with that device.
fdisk complains about missing cylinder count.
cfdisk misses the device size.
parted shows the right device size but only creates a partion
with 51GB.
What am I supposed to do to work with this device?
Which fs can handle it?
(CONFIG LARGE BLOCK is on)
We are talking about a 32Bit machine with vanilla kernel 2.6.21.5.

Thanks in advance,
Regards - Ingo.
