Hello Neil, 

Is this to say that earlier versions of mdadm did NOT support RAID-0 on 
devices larger than 2 TB? 

I have been using mdadm 1.6 to create a 4.8 TB RAID-0 array (md0) on top of 
two 3ware 2.4 TB Hardware RAID-5 arrays (/dev/sda and /dev/sdb) -- and so far I 
don't see any problems. The RAID-0 is created without trouble. The resulting 
size is reported as 4.8 TB. The performance is awesome. And, presumably, the 
data protection is sound.

Am I missing something?
