Hallo, linux-btrfs,
what about disks with more than 2 TByte? Other filesystems (?) need GPT.
When I use
mkfs.btrfs /dev/sdc
(p.e. with drive sdc), does that work without problems with btrfs?
Viele Gruesse!
Helmut

The filesystems don't care about the partition system. The 2TB limits is
related to the maximum partition size. Of course a filesystem cannot be
greater the partition where it is allocated.

It should. BTW, why you dont' use a GPT partition table ?
