Yes, and it has been in mainline 2.5.x kernels for a while now. Do a
"make menuconfig" and under "Block devices" the last option is
"[ ] Support for Large Block Devices". From the help:
x CONFIG_LBD: x
x x
x Say Y here if you want to attach large (bigger than 2TB) discs to x
x your machine, or if you want to have a raid or loopback device x
x bigger than 2TB. Otherwise say N. x
I don't know if it has been backported to 2.4.x, but seems reasonable.
